Jets' Bell has MRI on knee
NEW YORK — The New York Jets are in an all-too familiar position: keeping their fingers crossed while waiting on MRI results.
Running back Le’Veon Bell is the latest player causing some concern after he had one of his knees tested Monday. It was not immediately certain if it could force him to miss some time. Coach Adam Gase thought the Jets would know more Monday night or Tuesday morning.
“I don’t want to get too alarmed with Le’Veon without any information,” Gase said. “It could be nothing and he just felt like something didn’t feel right. It could be something else. It’s hard for me to go anywhere with it mentally because it’s just so gray.”
Gase was unsure when Bell was injured during New York’s 26-18 loss at Miami on Sunday. Gase learned of it Monday morning when Bell had to miss team meetings to undergo the tests.
“He never said anything to me during the game or said anything to me after the game,” the coach said. “I’m not really sure the extent of this.”
Bell had 66 yards on 17 carries and caught eight passes for 55 yards against the Dolphins a week after he was frustrated with getting only 11 touches in New York’s loss at Jacksonville.
The Jets have been hit hard this season by injuries.
