Geno Smith out for Jets' preseason opener against Buccaneers with foot soreness

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith will not participate in the team's first preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to foot soreness. The team is not concerned about the injury's severity and does not expect it to affect his regular season availability. Fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik is anticipated to receive the majority of playing time during the game, with Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook also likely to get snaps. Smith is looking to make his return as the Jets' starting quarterback after previously playing for several teams, including the Seattle Seahawks and the Las Vegas Raiders. He joined the Jets earlier this year following a challenging season.
