The Jets will have a legitimate chance to make it two wins in a row when they hit the road to take on the Redskins on Sunday.
Washington has struggled to a 1-8 record so far in 2019, with its only win coming against the Dolphins over a month ago. It’s a winnable game for New York, but a lengthy injury report and general inconsistency make nothing a certainty for Gang Green.
With that being said, let’s take a look at some pregame storylines to keep an eye on with kickoff approaching.
Le’Veon Bell’s status
Could the Jets be without their star running back for the first time this season when they take on the Redskins?
Le’Veon Bell’s status for Sunday’s game is up in the air, as he is dealing with rib and knee injuries, as well as an illness. If Bell can’t go, Ty Montgomery and Bilal Powell will be tasked with leading New York’s rushing attack.
Even with Bell, the Jets have struggled to run the football in 2019 due to some underwhelming play in the trenches. If he can’t play against Washington, New York’s ground game will have a tough time taking flight in Week 11.
