Jets LT Smith out, to be replaced by Fashanu

In what feels like a passing of the torch, New York Jets left tackle Tyron Smith -- one of the NFL's most decorated linemen -- was ruled out for Sunday with a neck ailment that could land him on injured reserve.

Why was he replaced at OG? Was he filling in for someone injured or did he not play well?

If he was not playing well at guard it is unlikely he would be moved to tackle.
It sounded like the plan was for Olu to take over the LT spot eventually.

He started 2 games at RT and played OG as an emergency in game replacement. The article said that he had never played OG before that game.

Thanks. Sleepy makes a good point now that Olu needs to protect Rodgers’ backside.
