FLORHAM PARK -- None of this is new for Bilal Powell. The Jets' versatile back has been around the block a few times throughout his seven NFL seasons.
But it doesn't make him any less excited for this weekend's game against the Jaguars. With Matt Forte out with a turf toe, Powell will make his first start of the season.
"I'm always excited to play on Sunday," Powell said on Friday. "I look forward to seeing what we have for Sunday."
The Jets, most of this season, have used a 1-2 rushing attack featuring Powell and Forte.
