Matt Forte Returns to Practice After Hamstring Injury, Hopes to Play vs. Giants

New York Jets running back Matt Forte is eyeing Saturday's preseason game against the New York Giants as a potential return date from his hamstring injury.

"That's my goal," Forte said Tuesday, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. "I don't know what the coaches' plan is, but that's my plan."

Cimini noted Forte practiced Tuesday after missing the last three weeks with a strained right hamstring.

Despite Forte's insistence he plans on playing Saturday, Cimini pointed out the Jets want to see how he performs during the week of practice before making a final decision.
