Police in Davie, Florida, are investigating New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith following an accusation of battery made by a woman who identified herself as his ex-girlfriend.
Authorities said Tuesday morning that the case is active, one day after initially indicating it was closed.
According to the Davie Police Department, officers were called to Smith’s home on Sunday afternoon after a woman dialed 911, stating that she had been assaulted by him. No arrests were made and nobody was taken into custody at the time.
The woman, who appeared in a video posted to social media, claimed during the recording that Smith “ran outside and attacked me.”

The clip circulated widely online.
Initially, a police spokesperson said Monday that the case was “not an active case,” but that it remained under review.
The following day, the department updated its position, telling ESPN that detectives are now conducting further investigation and that it is an active case. Officials said they cannot release additional details.

The California Post reported that it had obtained audio of the 911 call. During the call, the woman, described as tearful, told the dispatcher, “My ex-boyfriend just beat me up.”
As of Tuesday, Smith had not publicly commented on the allegations. The Jets also have not issued any statement in response to the matter.
The woman in the video was identified by her first name, Kristen. In a caption accompanying the video, she accused Smith of assaulting her and made further personal claims about his family and habits.
The post referenced Smith’s 6-year-old son, Seven, stating several allegations about his parenting. Hours later, Seven’s mother issued her own statement on Instagram defending Smith, writing that he “is and always has been more than capable of taking care of his son.”
She concluded her message with: “Let’s kill that narrative. Don’t get on the internet bringing my son into your web of dysfunction.” Her comments were posted Sunday night.
Smith, 35, was traded to the Jets in March from the Las Vegas Raiders. The team named him its starting quarterback for the 2026 season shortly after the transaction.
Smith previously played for the Jets from 2013 through 2016. His jersey number, Seven, matches the name of his son.
No further details have been confirmed by law enforcement or team representatives. The investigation remains active according to the latest police statement.
The incident marks a reversal from the department’s earlier stance less than twenty-four hours prior. Officials emphasized that the review process led to reopening the case.
Authorities declined to comment beyond the statement provided to ESPN. The department did not disclose any timeline for completion of the investigation.
Media outlets have continued to report on the evolving nature of the case while noting the lack of official comment from Smith or the organization. Police have stated that more information will not be available until further notice.
