The Jets don’t seem pleased that broken-jawed quarterback Geno Smith was doing some shirtless throwing at home, two days after surgery to repair said broken jaw.

And it doesn’t seem that him wearing a shirt would have made them any happier.

“He shouldn’t be doing it right now,” Jets coach Todd Bowles said, via Dom Cosentino of NJ.com. “We handled that internally. We had that discussion.”

Bowles said Smith would not be disciplined for working outside the realm of the doctor’s (i.e. their) orders, which makes sense, since fining him for throwing a football would have been crazy.

“He just got surgery; you don’t want him getting infected,” Bowles said. “[The doctors] said he couldn’t do anything physical, so I’m going by the rules of what they said. . . .

“As an organization, we handled that. It’s not disappointing; it’s something you don’t want to do. We addressed it.”

Given the unusual response to Smith after former teammate IK Enemkpali punched him in the face over $600 (including at least one co-worker saying he deserved it), the Jets’ response could be worth remembering. While some throwing in the yard might not be a big deal, the fact they had to tell him not to might be.
