BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Jets running back Matt Forte told Newsday on Friday he would like to return to the team in 2018.

Forte finished the 2017 season on injured reserve with right knee discomfort and had career-lows in carries (103) and yards (381). He finished with just two rushing touchdowns and, for the first time in his 10-year career, didn’t have at least a 100-yard rushing game.

“I feel good now I haven’t done it in like six weeks,” Forte said. “I got some personal goals that are real obtainable that I can reach. But I don’t want to finish my career out being on IR at the end of the year.
