Geno Smith Being Investigated After Battery Accusation

Tuesday, June 23, 9:18 AM

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is being investigated for an incident in which a woman accused him of battery, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Police officers were summoned to Smith's home in Florida on Sunday after a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend called 911 and said she was assaulted by him. Nobody was arrested or taken into custody at the scene, with the Davie Police Department saying on Monday that it's "not an active case" and is still being reviewed. "We were informed [Monday] evening that, during review, it was determined that this case is being further investigated by detectives. It is active, and we cannot release any additional information at this time," a police spokesperson said in an update on Tuesday. After a rough season with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025, in which he led the league with 17 interceptions, the Jets acquired him in a trade this offseason, and he's expected to open the 2026 season as their starter, barring a suspension from the league. Even if Smith isn't disciplined by the NFL for this off-the-field incident, he'll be an unattractive low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in 2026.

Bo Nix Takes Part in Seven-on-Seven Drills at Mandatory Minicamp

Wednesday, June 17, 11:23 AM

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) took part in seven-on-seven drills during the team's second mandatory minicamp practice on Wednesday, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. On his first throw of the day, Nix hit second-year running back RJ Harvey for a touchdown during a red-zone drill with a well-placed ball. Nix is recovering from offseason surgery for a fractured ankle that he suffered in the Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills in January, and he had a follow-up procedure in April. Head coach Sean Payton has said that Nix is expected to be a "full-go" for training camp at the end of July, which means that, barring a setback, the former University of Oregon product should be ready for a Week 1 Monday night showdown against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old has been a top-10 fantasy QB in each of his first two years in the NFL, but in what should be a more balanced offense under Payton in 2026, and coming off ankle surgery, fantasy managers are better off targeting the third-year signal-caller as a high-end QB2 with upside in drafts later this year.
