New York Jets QB Geno Smith feels 'great' after surgery

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith said he "feels great" following jaw surgery after being punched by a teammate last week.

The New York Post caught Smith throwing to a friend on Saturday at his apartment complex near the Jets' training facility in Florham Park, N.J. -- only two days removed from surgery.

"I feel great," he told the newspaper. "You see me throwing, right?"

Smith had his jaw broken in two spots when he was on the wrong end of a punch in the locker room thrown by teammate IK Enemkpali on Tuesday. The Jets immediately released Enemkpali after the incident and he was claimed on waivers by the Buffalo Bills.

Doctors inserted plates and screws during Smith's surgery Thursday but did not wire his jaw shut.

The Jets previously said Smith is expected to be out six to 10 weeks.

"Get ready for me to come back," Smith, his cheeks swollen, told the Post.
