Veteran running back Bernard Pierce might not be long for the Jets’ roster if he doesn’t get healthy.
That was the word from coach Todd Bowles Saturday after the former Raven and Jaguar missed another practice because of a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined most of training camp.
Pierce might be helped by the fact that starting running back Matt Forte also has been out all of camp with a hamstring problem of his own, leaving the Jets thin on proven depth at that spot aside from Bilal Powell.
But Bowles said Saturday that, essentially, Pierce can’t expect to make the club if he’s in the cold tub.
