Geno Smith Giants player left the game with knee injury

Sport by : (PRESSBEE) -

Geno Smith wasn't happy, and not just because his knee was hurting.

Smith, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback, was injured on a weird play during Seattle's 24-3 win over the New York Giants. He threw a pass that was batted back to him, so he caught it and took off to his left. Right as he reached the sideline, Giants linebacker Isaiah Simmons got to him. Then Simmons proceeded to drag him down from behind and land on his legs. Smith was in the green part of the sideline by the time he was brought down, which was very late but no flag was thrown.

Smith limped around a bit and then came straight off the sideline to go confront the Giants' defense over what he thought was a dirty play.

Smith is 9-of-11 for 67 yards and a touchdown.

Damien Lewis was carted off the sideline. Lewis is questionable to return with an ankle injury.

The Seahawks already were without starting right guard Phil Haynes, who earlier in the game was ruled out with a calf injury.

Evan Brown slid to left guard, and Olu Oluwatimi entered at center.

Smith left the game for the medical tent and was eventually carted to the locker room for an X-ray, leaving backup Drew Lock to lead the Seahawks in relief.

The veteran quarterback returned to the game in the second half, but it remains to be seen how effectively he can play. If the Seahawks add to their 14–3 halftime lead, the team may decide to rest him with a bye set for Week 5.

DK Metcalf. He returned to lead a promising drive to start the second half, but Seattle was stopped on fourth down deep into Giants' territory.

Smith stayed in but before the Seahawks' next series, he went to the medical tent on the sideline. Drew Lock came out to play quarterback for a series that ended with a touchdown run set up by Lock's 51-yard pass to Noah Fant. Smith was shown being brought back to the locker room for X-rays at the two-minute warning before halftime. Smith did return for the second half. On the Seahawks' first possession of the second half he took a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct, presumably stemming from his lingering anger at the Giants.

He played the rest of the game but didn't have to do much as the Seahawks coasted to a victory on the backs of a stellar defensive outing.

Smith is a fiery competitor. He wasn't happy with what he thought was a late tackle, and he didn't hide his feelings on it.
