NEW YORK (AP) — Jets running back Le'Veon Bell has been ruled out for New York's game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday because of an illness.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Le’Veon Bell’s 23-yard run was wiped out by a holding penalty. Bilal Powell’s 23-yard gain off a screen pass was called back because of an illegal block. Every time the Jets...
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets will have a busy backfield this season.
Le'Veon Bell is the star of the running backs group, of course. But, Ty Montgomery and Bilal Powell, and...
Now your fantasy skills and strategic planning are about to be truly tested. There are six teams on byes this week: the Bengals, Cardinals, Colts, Eagles, Lions and Jaguars.
You won't be setting what you feel is a fully solid lineup. That's why you have to deftly work the waiver wire at all positions.
CHICAGO (AP) — Sam Darnold and the New York Jets did a good job of protecting the ball.
They just didn't do very much when they had it.
Playing without two of its top receivers, New York managed just 207 yards in a 24-10 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Darnold passed for a career-low 153 yards in his eighth NFL start, and Isaiah Crowell was the Jets' top rusher with a measly 25 yards on 13 carries.
Just a quiet, ho-hum sort of day for everyone in green-and-white.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets coach Todd Bowles says running back Bilal Powell is expected to make a full recovery after he has surgery to repair a bulging disk in his neck.
Bowles clarified Thursday that Powell's injury, suffered last Sunday during a run against Minnesota, is similar to the one from which wide receiver Quincy Enunwa returned this season.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Bilal Powell might have played the last snap of his football career.
The New York Jets running back needs surgery to repair a bulging disk in his neck, and coach Todd Bowles says it's potentially a career-ending injury.
"It's possible," Bowles said Wednesday. "We'll see how the surgery goes."
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — It might be Elijah McGuire's turn to step in as the New York Jets' starting running back.
Bilal Powell sat out practice Wednesday with a strained calf after injuring during the Jets' 17-14 win at Cleveland last Sunday. His status for New York's game Sunday against New England is uncertain.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Long runs, bad breaks, big plays and wacky moments. This one had them all.
Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 41-yard field goal with 28 seconds left in overtime, lifting the New York Jets to a 23-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
"Crazy is right," Jets quarterback Josh McCown said with a grin. "I'm glad we were on the right side of it, though."
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets have heard all the negative narratives for months.
They're tanking the season. They're a shoo-in for the No. 1 draft pick. They might go 0-16.
With one defiant — and dominant — performance, the Jets put at least one of those predictions to rest.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — All that dismal 0-16 talk is over. And, the New York Jets ended it early with a stunningly dominant performance.
Josh McCown threw a 69-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson, Bilal Powell ran for a score, and the Jets' defense frustrated Jay Cutler and the Miami Dolphins in a 20-6 victory Sunday in New York's home opener.
"Oh, man, it was awesome," McCown said. "It was special."
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Most everyone expected Josh McCown and the New York Jets' patchwork offense to be a work in progress opening the season.
That certainly wasn't the case for coach Todd Bowles' pride and joy: the Jets run-stoppers.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets running back Matt Forte is doubtful to play against the New England Patriots on Saturday because of knee and shoulder injuries.
Forte has a torn meniscus in his right knee, which he played through last week. He ran for 21 yards on four carries and had a 7-yard reception while spelling Bilal Powell in New York's 34-13 loss to Miami, but he also injured a shoulder during the game.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Chan Gailey watched Bryce Petty scramble to his left and, with a defender in his face, launch a pass down the field across his body — and off his back foot.
The first reaction by the New York Jets offensive coordinator probably mirrored that of many fans.
"No! No! No!" Gailey recalled with a smile Wednesday. "Then, he had a great play, and you get your call sheet ready for the next one."
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Bilal Powell has been a complementary running back for most of his career, trying to make the most of whatever opportunity comes his way.
When Matt Forte went down with a knee injury in the first quarter and the New York Jets not wanting to put too much on Bryce Petty's plate in his second career start, Powell got plenty of chances.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — With two touchdowns in the first five minutes against the reeling New York Jets, the San Francisco 49ers looked poised to finally get their first win since the season opener.
Then for the rest of the game, they became the same old Niners and extended their franchise-record losing streak to 12 games.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Bilal Powell made sure that Bryce Petty's rough start had a positive finish for the New York Jets.
Powell ran for 145 yards, including the game-ending 19-yard touchdown in overtime, to help Petty and the New York Jets rally from 14 points down to beat the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Sunday.
"It shows the character we have," Powell said. "It's not the season that everyone was expecting but we keep fighting and we have a lot of guys on the team who showed a lot of pride."
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets hope C.J. Spiller can help boost their backfield with some speed and versatility.
The veteran running back was officially signed Wednesday, and the Jets waived running back Knile Davis a day after claiming him off waivers.
Spiller joins a Jets backfield that includes Matt Forte and Bilal Powell, and he's reunited with offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, who coached Spiller during some of his best seasons in Buffalo.
NEW YORK (AP) — Next stop for Knile Davis: the New York Jets.
The running back was claimed off waivers from the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, adding depth to the Jets' backfield.
Davis was acquired by Green Bay from Kansas City on Oct. 18 for a conditional draft choice. He had five carries for 5 yards in two games with the Packers before being waived Monday.
NEW YORK (AP) — There's plenty of blame to go around for the New York Jets' 3-5 start. Ryan Fitzpatrick points the finger solely at himself.
The veteran quarterback has been bad, benched — and, lately, bounced back.
Fitzpatrick has helped lead the Jets to two straight wins and he knows it's on him to be a lot better in the last eight games if New York has any chance of making the playoffs.
There are only two NFL teams with byes this week and the Vikings and Buccaneers offenses won't hurt fantasy teams too much beyond losing standout wide receiver Mike Evans and the Minnesota defense. Be prepared to go full throttle in Week 6 with most of your best players in your starting arsenal.
