Adam Gase regrets putting Le’Veon Bell back in Sunday’s game against the Bills after he saw the running back grab his hamstring in the first half.
Gase told reporters following the game that he was mad at himself for allowing Bell to return to the game for the second half of the Jets’ 27-17 loss to the Bills. Late in the first half, Bell slipped going out for a pass and pulled his hamstring. He played out the rest of the half and then came out for the second half until the Jets pulled the plug on him. Bell had six carries for 14 yards and 32 receiving yards for the game.
The Jets are already hurting at running back with the loss of La’Mical Perine. He missed the Jets’ first game with an ankle injury that he suffered in training camp. Behind Bell, the Jets have Frank Gore and Josh Adams.
Gase doesn’t know the severity of Bell’s injury just yet, but hamstring injuries are tricky.
LB Blake Cashman also left the game and did not return following a groin injury.
