Geno Smith made his season debut for the Jets when starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was hurt on the opening drive against the Raiders.

Fitzpatrick got hurt at the end of a 12-yard scramble on a third-down play. He narrowly escaped a sack attempt by Mario Edwards Jr. before running for the first down. He was slow to get up and replaced by the former starter Smith.

Smith lost the job in training camp when his jaw was broken on a locker-room punch by teammate IK Enemkpali.

Fitzpatrick was questionable to return to the game, the Jets announced. He stood on the sideline, his hand wrapped. The Jets appeared to be in Smith’s hands once again, at least for one game.
