The New York Jets are struggling to start the season, as they have a 1-3 record after losses to the Bengals, Chiefs, and Seahawks. Newly acquired running back Matt Forte hasn’t quite lived up to his expectations either, as has struggled against some tough defenses so far this year. Powell, a former Louisville football product, has been very productive in his limited opportunities.
Matt Forte had been on the Jets’ injury report earlier this week, but has been taken off the list going into tomorrow’s game. That doesn’t bold well for Powell getting more playing time this Sunday for New York.
