New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith didn't finish Sunday's 31-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills after suffering an ankle injury in the second half.
Smith exited Sunday's game twice, first for a concussion evaluation and then for an ankle injury that ended his day early.
He walked to the locker room for X-rays before the Jets ruled him out in the third quarter with the ankle issue. Earlier in the contest, the veteran passer cleared concussion protocol after taking a huge hit at the end of the first half.

Rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik started the second half for the Jets while Smith was being evaluated for a concussion. Klubnik orchestrated a promising drive and helped New York kick a field goal to trim Buffalo's lead.
Smith returned to the contest on the team's second drive of the third quarter but again exited after the series, heading to the medical tent with the ankle injury.
Smith finished the game with 13 completions on 21 attempts for 148 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions.
Klubnik recorded 137 passing yards and an interception Sunday.
