Geno Smith won’t have to worry about getting booed this week.

Jets coach Todd Bowles said Smith will not play Thursday night in the preseason finale against the Eagles. The Jets will go with Bryce Petty and rookie Christian Hackenberg in the game. Starter Ryan Fitzpatrick also will get the night off.

The decision could be an indication Smith has secured the No. 2 quarterback job after getting pushed by Petty this summer. Smith has not been overly impressive, but he gives the Jets an experienced backup, having played 31 games in his career.

Jets QB Christian Hackenberg getting more reps

It was a game of 'Where's Waldo' the first 15 days of Jets training camp.

As soon as team drills began, reporters attempted to scope out rookie quarterback Christian Hackenberg. Usually, he was standing next to quarterbacks coach Kevin Patullo. Rarely was he on the field. Simply put, the Jets weren't giving Hackenberg more than a handful of reps during the team portion of practice.

This week, things have changed. On Sunday and Monday, Hackenberg received more reps than he had in any other camp practice.

"It's part of the progression," head coach Todd Bowles said. "You give him more reps in there as time goes by. That's just part of the progression."

Fantasy Impact: 

Hackenberg's playing time has been one of the more talked-about storylines in camp this year. Despite being a second-round pick and the hopeful quarterback of the future, Hackenberg hasn't been playing. Quite literally — He didn't take one snap in either of the Jets' first two preseason games. Hackenberg's performance has been less than inspiring the story said, adding he went just 2 of 12 with nearly an INT. Monday he was 5 of 11 with two INTs.

One of the many storylines from Friday night's game was the DNP for rookie quarterback Christian Hackenberg. Coach Todd Bowles had said "the plan" was to get Hackenberg a few snaps, but he decided to play only three quarterbacks. "Coach's decision," Bowles said after the game, explaining why the second-round pick was kept in mothballs for another week. Pressed, Bowles reiterated, "Coach's decision."

It's an interesting dynamic. I'm sure general manager Mike Maccagnan would like to see the potential quarterback of the future in action, but his coach's job is to evaluate players for the present. The Jets will be closer to a regular-season mode as they prepare for the Giants, meaning another week of watching and learning for the rookie.

Fantasy Impact: 

Hackenberg probably won't play until the preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. Naturally, we'll be monitoring the division of practice reps between Geno Smith and Bryce Petty, whose emergence has added intrigue to the backup-QB situation, the story said. For now, Hackenberg seems out of the Jets QB picture.
