FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The Jets will ride the hot hand at running back.
Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur wouldn’t reveal who the starting tailback would be in Sunday’s opener at Carolina. The Jets don’t officially have a lead back and certainly don’t have a workhorse back. They’ll have a by-committee approach and let the game and the backs dictate what they decide to do.
