New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is out up to 10 weeks with a broken jaw, the result of a “sucker punch” by teammate IK Enemkpali, head coach Todd Bowles said Tuesday.

Smith will miss 6-10 weeks, Bowles said, including the entire preseason.

“It’s something very childish,” Bowles said before Tuesday’s practice. “Something sixth graders could’ve figured out. I told them I wouldn’t say anything.”

Enemkpali played defensive end at Louisiana Tech and was drafted in 2014.

“It’s something we don’t tolerate. It’s something we can’t stand. You don’t walk up to another man and punch him in the face,” said Bowles.

The Jets’ depth chart includes veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, who played for offensive coordinator Chan Gailey with the Buffalo Bills. Fitzpatrick was limited in the offseason recovering from a leg injury.

Rookie Bryce Petty was drafted in April, but the Jets expected 2015 to be a borderline redshirt season for Petty.
