Giants' Jeff Smith: Dealing with injury
Smith is working to recover from a knee injury during training camp, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Smith's 2022 season ended due to a knee injury and it's not clear if the current ailment is related. Duggan notes that the injury is not likely significant; however, he could miss some time. The former Jet is probably on the outside looking in when it comes to making the Giants' 53-man roster, so he'll continue to work toward a speedy recovery as he attempts to make the active roster.

Giants' Jeff Smith: Lands with Giants
Smith signed with the Giants on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Smith spent the first four seasons of his career with the Jets, and he'll stick in New York after signing with the Giants. He's never commanded more than 37 targets in a single season and has seen his role steadily decline in each of the last three campaigns.

Jeff Smith: Won't be tendered
The Jets will not tender Smith (knee) ahead of Wednesday's deadline, setting him up to hit free agency, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Smith posted a goodbye to New York on his personal Twitter account Tuesday, solidifying Pelissero's report. The veteran speedster secured eight of 11 targets for 134 yards in 11 appearances with the Jets last season, including a 77-yard tally against the Lions in Week 15, before going down with a knee injury. He will look to secure another depth role on the open market.

Jets' Jeff Smith: Placed on IR
Smith (knee) was put on injured reserve Saturday.
Smith had his best game of the season Week 15 against Detroit, hauling in four passes on five targets for 77 yards. However, he apparently injured his knee in that contest and sat out last week's loss to Jacksonville. With his subsequent placement on IR, Smith won't be able to return this season unless the Jets make the playoffs and advance to the AFC Championship Game.

Jets' Jeff Smith: Ruled out for Week 17
Smith (knee) was ruled out for Week 17 on Friday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Smith will miss a second game in a row Sunday as he continues to nurse the knee injury he sustained in Week 15 versus the Lions. The wide receiver was able to take advantage of the absence of Corey Davis in that contest, producing four catches for 77 yards in the loss. With Davis now back on the field, Smith will likely have a miniscule roll when he's able to return.

Jets' Jeff Smith: Not practicing to begin Week 17
Smith (knee) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Even with the benefit of a longer turnaround for Week 17 after the Jets played the Jaguars last Thursday, Smith hasn't moved past the knee injury that sidelined him for the 19-3 loss to Jacksonville. Prior to sitting out against the Jaguars, Smith posted season highs in catches (four) and receiving yards (77) in a Week 15 loss to the Lions, but that production came with Corey Davis sitting out with a concussion and with Denzel Mims suffering a brain injury of his own during the contest. Davis was cleared to play Week 16 and Mims is in the final stage of the concussion protocol as of Wednesday, so with both wideouts likely to be available Sunday in Seattle, Smith may find it difficult to recapture a role on offense if he suits up this weekend.

Jets' Jeff Smith: Won't play Thursday
Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The Jets will also be without Denzel Mims (concussion), whom Smith helped replace in this past Sunday's loss to the Lions. With two of their depth options sidelined, the Jets are left with Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis, Elijah Moore as their likely starting wideout trio and with Braxton Berrios as their lone reserve option. New York could look to elevate another wideout from the practice squad prior to Thursday's game.

Jets' Jeff Smith: Idle for another practice
Smith (knee) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.
Coming off his most productive game of the season -- a four-catch, 77-yard effort in a Week 15 loss to the Lions -- Smith may not be able to build on the outing while he contends with the knee injury. He's now been listed as a non-participant on the Jets' first two Week 16 injury reports, which has him trending in the wrong direction as Thursday's game against the Jaguars approaches. Smith will likely need to practice on at least a limited basis Wednesday to have a shot at suiting up versus Jacksonville.
