Forte (toe) was limited at practice Wednesday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With no reported injury setbacks in his return to action in Week 6, Forte's limitations Wednesday could well be maintenance-related. Meanwhile, fellow RB Bilal Powell (calf) remained unable to practice and if he can't play this weekend, Forte would merit lineup consideration, notably in PPR formats. In this past Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Patriots, Forte ran nine times for 22 yards and hauled in all eight of his targets for 59 yards.

Forte (toe) rushed nine times for 22 yards and caught all eight of his targets for 59 more in Sunday's 24-17 loss to New England.
EDGE Analysis
Forte was handed the lead back job in his return from a turf toe injury with Bilall Powell (calf) out, but he failed to get much going on the ground with an average of 2.7 yards per carry. Elijah McGuire was equally ineffective as a rusher, gaining 22 yards on his 10 carries while both running backs registered a failed attempt from the one-yard line. Powell is also gifted as a receiver out of the backfield, but Forte will dominate over Mcguire on passing downs as long as Powell sits.

Forte (toe) is slated to play Sunday against the Patriots after practicing fully Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Meanwhile, fellow RB Bilal Powell (calf) did not practice Friday and is considered a game-time decision for the contest. In the event that Powell is made inactive Sunday, Forte figures to re-enter the Jets backfield mix in some form of time-share with Elijah McGuire, a context that would give the veteran back modest fantasy upside in Week 6.

Forte (toe) practiced Thursday in a limited capacity, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
After putting in his second limited practice in as many days, Forte said that his sprained left toe feels "a lot better" compared to how he felt the past two weeks when he missed games, according to Vacchiano. Forte is hopeful that he'll suit up Sunday against the Patriots, and if he's able to practice on some level Friday, that seems like a good possibility. He'll likely share snaps out of the backfield with rookie Elijah McGuire, as Bilal Powell (calf) seems to be trending toward an inactive status after failing to practice yet this week.

Forte (turf toe) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With fellow running back Bilal Powell dealing with a strained calf and having missed practice Wednesday, Forte's potential Week 6 availability gains significance. If either of the Jets' veteran backs are out or limited Sunday against the Patriots, Elijah McGuire would be in line for added snaps.

Forte (knee/toe) won't play Sunday against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
With Forte still out, Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire, who were both very effective against the Jaguars in Week 4, are in line to head the Jets' rushing attack this weekend. Powell is thus on track to draw the start at running back again Sunday, on the heels of his 21-carry, 163-yard effort in the team's 23-20 overtime win last week. Powell also hauled in four passes for 27 yards in the contest.

Forte (knee/toe) did not practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
At this stage, Forte looks pretty iffy for Sunday's game against the Browns. If he sits out the contest, Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire, who both ran well in Week 4, would head the Jets' rushing attack this weekend.

Forte (toe) did not practice Wednesday, Connor Hughes of The Newark Star-Ledger Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Forte continues to deal with a turf toe issue that clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Browns. We doubt the Jets will be inclined to rush him back, however, with both Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire having run very effectively in Week 4's 23-20 win over the Jaguars.

Forte (toe) wasn't spotted on the field in advance of the Jets' first practice of the week Wednesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets should issue a formal report later Wednesday on Forte's level of involvement in the team's first practice of the week, but his suspected absence isn't the most encouraging of signs regarding his status for Sunday's date with the Browns. While Forte was sidelined in the Week 4 win over the Jaguars, Bilal Powell absorbed the bulk of the work at running back, taking the field for 46 of the Jets' 70 offensive snaps and accumulating 190 total yards and a touchdown on 25 touches.

Forte (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
With Forte out this week, Bilal Powell is in line to see an increased workload in the Jets' backfield Sunday, with Elijah McGuire next up for carries and newcomer Travaris Cadet also available to work in a reserve role.
