VYNCINT SMITH NEWS

Ruled out for MNF Smith (groin) is listed as inactive heading into the Jets' Monday night matchup against the Patriots.

Impact The third-year receiver had suited up in each of the Jets' past three games, though he entered Monday listed as doubtful. A missed practice Friday hinted at the fact that Smith ultimately would prove unable to suit up after he had logged a limited session the day prior. The Limestone College product fielded 13 offensive snaps last Sunday against the Chiefs, meaning opportunities may slightly increase for No. 4 and 5 WR options Braxton Berrios and Jeff Smith.

Listed as doubtful Smith (groin) is listed as doubtful entering Monday's game against the division-rival Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It seems all but certain Smith will not play Monday after failing to practice back-to-back days. The imminent return of Breshad Perriman (concussion) and Jamison Crowder (groin) should help buoy the team's depth, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Jets also opt to call up a wide receiver in the coming days.

Unable to practice Friday Smith (groin) didn't practice Friday.

Impact Smith's trending in the wrong direction, as he went from participating on a limited basis Thursday to not practicing at all Friday. Even with the benefit of an extra day to get right, Smith will likely need to participate at some level Saturday to have a realistic shot at suiting up against New England come Monday.

Dealing with injury Smith (groin) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.

Impact It's unclear how Smith suffered the injury, as he's suited up in each of the last three games. The Limestone College product has been limited to special teams, as he's supplied just one catch for 13 yards on offense. If Smith is forced to miss Monday's game against the Patriots, Jeff Smith would be in line for more offensive and special-teams snaps.

First catch comes in Week 8 Smith made a 13-yard catch on his lone target in Sunday's 35-9 loss to Kansas City.

Impact The catch was Smith's first of the season in his third game. The speedy receiver caught 17 balls last season and will hope to take on a larger role in the injury-riddled Jets receiving corps moving forward.

Limited to special teams work Smith contributed a pair of special teams tackles and didn't touch the ball on offense in Sunday's 18-10 loss to Buffalo.

Impact Smith was replaced by Ty Johnson as the kick returner after muffing a catch last week, and he still doesn't have a role on offense for the Jets.

Drops kickoff in season debut Smith (abdomen) had a seven-yard kickoff return and didn't touch the ball on offense in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Making his season debut after being taken off IR, Smith dropped the ball on a kickoff and was smothered soon after picking it up, forcing the Jets to start that drive from their own nine-yard line. Smith was involved in some gadget plays that capitalized on his speed last season, but he only played five snaps on offense and wasn't targeted in this one.

Lifted from IR The Jets activated Smith (abdomen) from injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Smith underwent surgery in August but returned to practice last week and is expected to make his season debut Sunday versus the Dolphins. Breshad Perriman (ankle) is expected to suit up, so Smith will operate as a rotational receiver. Last year, the 24-year-old caught 17 of 31 targets for 225 yards while adding three carries for 52 yards and a score over 13 games.

Cleared to practice Smith (abdomen) was designated to return to practice Wednesday, setting him up to come off IR before Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact The Jets are finally getting some of their injured skill position players back but they'll be without starting quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) against Arizona. Smith is returning from Aug. 18 core surgery. If Smith suits up against the Cardinals, he'll be catching passes from backup quarterback Joe Flacco and could factor in on special teams as a kick returner.

May return Week 5 Coach Adam Gase said Tuesday that Smith (abdomen) may return from IR in Week 5 against the Cardinals, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Smith has been practicing without pads, so Gase said he won't be ready for this Thursday's game versus the Broncos. However, he's optimistic that the 24-year-old receiver could be healthy by Week 5. He'll likely serve in a depth role upon his return to the lineup.
