It sounds as if running back Matt Forte will be making his Jets debut Saturday against the Giants.
Jets coach Todd Bowles said the plan is for Forte, who missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury, to play.
“I hope so, if he doesn’t have any setbacks,” Bowles said. “I’ll see how he warms up. I’ll try to get him playing. I want him to get hit before our first game. I don’t want that to be the first time.”
The Jets signed Forte in March to a three-year, $12 million deal, hoping he can replace Chris Ivory as their lead running back.
