Muhammad Wilkerson, Nick Mangold inactive for Jets vs. Redskins

LANDOVER, MD — Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson and center Nick Mangold won’t play against the Redskins. But Matt Forte is active.

It’s unlikely, though, that the 30-year-old running back will see preseason action tonight after only making his camp debut on Sunday.

But the sight of Forte in uniform will be a welcome sign for fans who have been eager to see his return from a hamstring injury. He’s been making steady progress in his rehab and participated in team drills for the first time on Wednesday.

Wilkerson has been getting 11-on-11 reps in practice after his recent activation off the PUP list (broken leg).
