Matt Forte’s hamstring remains a sore spot for the Jets.

The starting running back has been out since July 31 with the injury, and coach Todd Bowles is so unsure when he will be back, he wouldn’t guarantee Forte would be ready for the regular-season opener Sept. 10 in Buffalo.

“I can’t tell you that right now,” Bowles said on Monday after practice. “I’ve got to see him out there [at practice] before I can make that decision. I don’t have the answer to that. If he comes out and he practices [Tuesday] full speed, then he’ll be ready.
