This means that Mark Sanchez could still return this season but the earliest it could be is in the 2nd half of the year. According to NBC Sports:

That means Sanchez can return to practice in six weeks, and can return to the active roster in eight weeks. The Jets’ bye is Week 10, so the earliest Sanchez could play would be Week 11, at Buffalo on November 17.

There wasn’t much doubt, even before this move, but the Geno Smith era is officially here. Matt Simms and Brady Quinn are the backup quarterbacks behind Geno Smith.

I started JetNation in 2005 and have been a New York Jets season ticket holder since graduating from high school. My dream is to see the New York Jets win the Super Bowl. Until then, I will be right here on JetNation writing, dreaming and talking NY Jets football.

In typical New York Jets fashion, the team dropped a decision to the LA Rams yesterday but one of the biggest story lines had more to do with Aaaron Rodgers than it did the New York Jets.
