Jets quarterback Geno Smith misses last week’s preseason opener due to a sore ankle but returns for a brief appearance against the Steelers and completes passes at a high level. Multiple outlets report that he looks fully healthy during the session and performs strongly in his limited playing time.

Both sources frame the night as addressing concerns from training camp about his availability and condition. They agree that Smith’s ankle issue keeps him out of the opener, yet he appears ready for the regular season after showing accurate, near-flawless passing against Pittsburgh. While the reports focus on his performance, neither source provides extensive details such as specific completion totals or play-by-play outcomes, emphasizing instead his health status and the apparent resolution of the earlier injury concern.
