Jets go with Geno in QB reverse

Two days after replacing starter Ryan Fitzpatrick in their Monday night loss in Arizona, Geno Smith will be the Jets’ starting quarterback, head coach Todd Bowles announced Wednesday. When asked if Smith would be on a short leash, Bowles said Smith “is our starter right now. We’ll see how things go down the line.” On Monday night, after the Jets lost 28-3 to the Cardinals, Bowles had said Fitzpatrick would hold onto the No. 1 job.

BILLS: Buffalo running back LeSean McCoy left Wednesday’s practice with hamstring tightness. Coach Rex Ryan wouldn’t speculate on McCoy’s playing status for Sunday, when the Bills — who have won four straight in part because of McCoy’s successful ground game — play in Miami. In the Bills’ longest win streak in eight years, McCoy has rushed for 470 yards and five touchdowns.

NFL MEETINGS: With his eyes on Las Vegas, Raiders owner Mark Davis says he hasn’t shut the door on anything. Oakland, though, might have shut the door on itself as home for his team. “Oakland was in the driver’s seat if they could’ve put together anything,” Davis said Wednesday at the NFL’s fall meetings in Houston, after updating fellow owners on his desire to relocate to Sin City. “They came up with nothing.” Nevada lawmakers approved a deal last week that increases hotel taxes in the Las Vegas area to raise $750 million for a stadium, and more than $400 million to expand and upgrade the Las Vegas Convention Center. Billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson is putting $650 million into the project, while the Raiders and the NFL will kick in $500 million.
