New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith left Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills for a second time after suffering an ankle injury in the second half.
Smith walked to the locker room and went into the X-ray room before being listed as questionable. Earlier in the game, the veteran passer cleared concussion protocol after taking a huge hit at the end of the first half.
Rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik entered the game at quarterback for the Jets.

Klubnik began the second half for the Jets while Smith was being evaluated for a concussion. Klubnik orchestrated a promising drive and helped New York kick a field goal to trim Buffalo's lead.
Smith returned to the game on the team's second drive of the third quarter but again exited after the series and headed into the medical tent with an ankle injury.
The hit on Smith occurred on the Jets' last offensive play of the first half. New York kicked a field goal on the next play before the Bills ran out the final seconds of the quarter.
Smith finished the first half by completing 9 of 16 passes for 113 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions.
