The New York Jets are leaving the quarterback job open for Geno Smith, and he may get an opportunity to claim it in Week 1.

With incumbent Mark Sanchez rehabbing a bruised joint in his throwing shoulder, the Jets likely will start Smith against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 8, sources said Friday.

Sanchez is listed as day-to-day, but he could miss a few weeks, sources told ESPN's Ed Werder.
