UPDATE (8/11/15): ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that IK Enemkpali punched Geno Smith because of a $600 debt that Smith owed to him. Schefter just posted this to Facebook:

Geno Smith was sucker-punched in the locker room by a teammate this morning, and suffered a broken jaw that will keep him out of action for the next 6-10 weeks. Jets head coach Todd Bowles confirmed the news to reporters.

Linebacker IK Enempkapali was the man who did the damage, and the team immediately released him.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is next up on the depth chart at the quarterback position, which evidently isn't all that appealing to at least one of the team's wide receivers.
