Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has returned to Monday night’s game against the Giants after missing time in the first half with a knee injury.<\/p>\n
Smith appeared to sustain the injury after catching his own batted pass in the second quarter and trying to escape the pocket around the end. Linebacker Isaiah Simmons jumped on Smith’s back to bring him down, causing the QB’s legs to twist awkwardly underneath him.<\/p>\n
With a third-and-13 waiting, Smith initially went to the sidelines, but he re-entered and began jawing with Giants defensive back Xavier McKinney.<\/p>\n
Smith had trouble moving on the next snap and nearly threw a side-armed pick to Kayvon Thibodeaux. It fell harmlessly to the turf, but Smith spent New York’s next drive in the blue medical tent and didn’t return for Seattle’s last three possessions of the quarter.<\/p>\n
He isn’t the only big-name Seahawks player contending with an injury Monday night, either. Safety Jamal Adams sustained a concussion nine snaps into his first game since Week 1 of last year and was ruled out.<\/p>\n
Smith was 9 of 11 for 67 yards and a touchdown at the time of his exit. Drew Lock entered in relief with Seattle in the lead, 7-3, and extended the margin with a touchdown drive before Smith came back.<\/p>\n
