The New York Jets have struggled to remain healthy as a team this season and running back Le’Veon Bell may join the long list of Jets players to miss time this season.
Only Bell isn’t injured — he’s sick.
The Jets have been down this road already in 2019. Quarterback Sam Darnold infamously missed three games earlier in the year after coming down with a case of mononucleosis. Bell’s illness isn’t as severe as “mono,” but it has kept him out of commission.
Bell originally popped up on the injury report on Thursday after he was forced to miss practice with the reported illness and he was sent home from the team facility again on Friday after it was deemed that he was unfit to participate.
