Geno Smith exits for one play after being hit on left leg, returns

Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith briefly exited the fourth quarter of Thursday’s game at New England after being hit in the lower body, but he was back on the field after just one play on the sideline.On a first-down play from his own 10-yard-line, Smith was hit in the left knee by Patriots defensive lineman Chris Jones as he released a pass. The injury to the second-year quarterback looked ominous, as Smith lay on the turf after being hit. However, after backup Michael Vick rushed off left end for six yards on second down, Smith was back on the field for third down.The Jets’ drive would end in a punt, but it ended with Smith – who’s shown flashes of promise against New England – back in control of the offense.
