PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Without mentioning Jets quarterback Geno Smith — the player he sucker punched — by name, linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali said he’s sorry, and never meant to hurt anyone. As for joining his new team, the Buffalo Bills, on Thursday, Enemkpali said he’s grateful for a second chance a day after being claimed off waivers. In making his first public comments two days after punching and breaking Smith’s jaw during an altercation in the Jets’ locker room, Enemkpali referred only to something that “happened,” spoke for just 45 seconds and declined to take any questions. “I want to apologize to the Jets organization, the fans, my teammates and the coaches. I apologize for what happened,” Enemkpali said, speaking at a podium placed beneath a goalpost on one of the fields of the Bills’ training camp facility in suburban Rochester. “It should’ve never happened. I should’ve walked away from the situation,” he said. “It was never my intention to hurt anybody.” The Jets released Enemkpali shortly after the altercation. Smith, who had surgery on Thursday, is projected to miss between six and 10 weeks. Turning his attention to the Bills, Enemkpali thanked coach Rex Ryan and the entire organization. “I look forward to being a good teammate, an accountable player,” he said. “And I’m just happy to be here, and thankful.” He then said, “Thank you,” before being escorted away by two Bills officials. The second-year player arrived at camp earlier in the day and passed his physical. Though Enemkpali has not yet practiced with the Bills, Ryan is still considering making him active for Buffalo’s preseason opener against Carolina on Friday night. Ryan pushed for the team to place a claim on Enemkpali, and received approval from general manager Doug Whaley and first- year Bills owner Terry Pegula. As the Jets former coach, Ryan became familiar with Enemkpali during the player’s rookie season last year. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/ik-enemkpali- punch-broke-geno-smith-jaw-article-1.2324909
