EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets coach Adam Gase took the blame for Avery Williamson's season-ending knee injury, second-guessing his decision of playing the starting linebacker for as long as he did Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons.
That injury, Gase admitted Sunday night, played a small factor in why he has decided to sit star running back Le'Veon Bell for the remainder of the preseason. Bell, the team's prized free agent, saw no action in the first two games.
"I was 99.9 percent sure what we were going to do," Gase said, referring to Bell.
