Matt Forte will miss another game; questions at cornerback
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets will be down two starters and three key backups when they face the winless Cleveland Browns on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Running back Matt Forte (turf toe) and linebacker Josh Martin (ankle), neither of whom practiced this week, were ruled out on Friday. Once again, the Jets will rely on Bilal Powell and rookie Elijah McGuire to carry the ball. They did the job last week, combining for 259 yards on the ground and two long touchdown runs.
This will be second missed game for Forte, who has yet to have a full practice since injuring his toe in Week 3. It's a tough injury for a running back -- especially a 31-year-old -- and it bears watching.
