Le’Veon Bell had a message for Jets coach Adam Gase as the Jets prepare for their season opener Sunday against the Bills.
“When I spoke to him (Tuesday) he said, ‘Don’t hold back.’ He feels like he’s ready to go,” Gase said Wednesday. “I think he’s pretty excited to get out there.”
The Jets signed Bell to a four-year, $52.5 million contract in March and have been waiting for Sunday since. Bell sat out last season because of a contract dispute with the Steelers. The running back did not play any preseason games with the Jets, so this will be his first time in a game since Pittsburgh’s playoff loss to the Jaguars in January 2018.
