Excellent point, so I just emailed the question to Jets PR person Bruce Speight, who just proved that he works far too hard and answered me immediately.

When Smith is suspended, the Jets will get an extra spot. Speight even referenced Chatman in the reply. You are right, I was wrong.

Way to look for a silver lining!
But no. Smith is still on the active roster, although I would be surprised to see him there in two weeks after the head injury.
In fact the Jets need to cut one more player, but have a little more time to make the decision in the bye week.
