Forte (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets have referred to Forte as a game-time decision for the game, which kicks off at 8:25 ET on Saturday. Even if Forte does suit up, ESPN's Rich Cimini suggests that Bilal Powell -- who logged an eye-popping 29/145/2 rushing line in Week 14 -- would likely see most of the work in the Jets' backfield this week. Forte was limited to six snaps in this past Sunday's win over the 49ers, which led to him recording just three carries for eight yards.

Forte (knee) was spotted at practice Thursday, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forte's return to the field, even in a limited capacity, represents progress, though coach Todd Bowles reiterated Thursday that the Jets consider the running back a game-time decision for Saturday night's 8:25 ET kickoff against the Dolphins.

Though Forte relayed Wednesday that an MRI on his right knee revealed a torn meniscus, he still hopes to play Saturday against the Dolphins, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forte, who believes it's an issue he has been dealing with all season, hopes to avoid an offseason procedure to repair his meniscus, but he heads into Week 15 in the iffy category after hyperextending his knee this past Sunday. On the heels of missing Wednesday's practice, Forte is viewed as a game-time decision for Saturday night's contest, per coach Todd Bowles.

Forte (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
When asked about Forte's chances of suiting up for Saturday night's 8:25 ET game against the Dolphins, coach Todd Bowles suggested Wednesday that the decision on that front will "probably be going up to the game." If the running back ends up limited or out this weekend, Bilal Powell -- who logged a 29/145/2 stat line this past Sunday in relief of Forte -- would be in line to head the Jets' Week 15 rushing attack.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Tuesday that Forte (knee) is "day-to-day", Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets have yet to clarify the extent of Forte's right knee injury, either by an official announcement or through a representative of the organization. If Bowles and company balk at releasing information, Forte's standing on upcoming injury reports will be the best gauge of his potential availability. In the event of an absent or hindered Forte on game day, Bilal Powell is set to step in and fuel the rushing attack.

Forte is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his injured right knee, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran running back left Sunday's game against the 49ers with an apparent right knee injury and was unable to return. Fortunately, Forte did tell reporters after the game that he didn't think he suffered any ligament damage to his knee. However, there won't be full confirmation on the extent of Forte's injury until the results of his MRI are released. If he's unable to play Saturday against the Dolphins, Bilal Powell would likely step into a starting role for the Jets.

Forte won't return to Sunday's game in San Francisco due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
After he was seen holding his helmet on the sideline, the CBS broadcast noted that Forte was tending to a right knee issue, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. While he'll finish the day with three carries for eight yards, Forte will yield the backfield to Bilal Powell.

Forte (knee/foot) practiced fully Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Forte's full practice Thursday confirms that he's in line to suit up Sunday against the 49ers, who have lost 11 straight games, while giving up a league-high average of 169.3 rushing yards per game to date. It's a matchup that should offer Forte bounce-back potential in Week 14 after logging nine carries for 25 yards and three catches for 54 yards in a 41-10 loss to the Colts on Monday.

Forte (knee/foot) was limited at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
We'll assume for now that Forte's limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related, a notion that would be verified Thursday by his return to a full practice. In prior weeks, the running back was listed as carrying a knee issue, so it's worth noting that this Wednesday, a foot ailment was also cited by the Jets.

Forte rushed nine times for 25 yards and caught three passes (on four targets) for 54 yards in Monday night's loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Forte's rushing opportunities were limited by the fact that the Jets trailed big for most of Monday's contest. However, he was still able to help through the passing game, as his 54 receiving yards placed second on the team. After a stretch of four straight games with at least 80 rushing yards, Forte has now gone for under 30 yards on the ground in back-to-back contests, but he at least has a great opportunity to bounce back Sunday versus the 49ers.
