New York Jets running back Matt Forte remains out for a second consecutive game, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.
Forte will miss the Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns, as he continues recovery from a toe injury suffered in the Week 3 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Bilal Powell is expected to receive the start and handle the majority of the work in the backfield, while rookie Elijah McGuire will serve as the complement.
McGuire set career highs with 10 rushing attempts, 93 rushing yards, two receptions, and 38 receiving yards with his first NFL touchdown in Week 4. The sixth-round pick out of the 2017 draft has been showing promise as the future of the Jets run game with an average of 6.8 yards per carry on the year.
