The New York Jets got a modicum of positive injury news Friday.
Coach Adam Gase told reporters that running back Le'Veon Bell is expected to return to practice on Saturday. When New York's injury report came out on Friday afternoon, Bell was listed as a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Bell sat out practices this week and underwent an MRI for a shoulder issue. Gase said it stemmed from the feature back being too aggressive in practice. The running back tweeted Thursday afternoon that everything went well with the scan.
With Bell back at practice, he should be good to go for Monday night's tilt versus the Cleveland Browns. Given Sam Darnold's absence due to mononucleosis, starter Trevor Siemian will need as much help from Bell as he can get.
In other Gang Green injury news, Gase said linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (ankle) are progressing well, and he wouldn't rule them out for Monday's game, even if they don't practice this weekend. Neither player practiced Friday.
In other Jets injury news, safety Jamal Adams (hip) practiced fully; OL Kelvin Beachum (ankle), DL Steve McLendon (hip) and OL Brian Winters (shoulder) were limited; and WR Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) did not participate.
