Jets injury report: Le’Veon Bell returns on limited basis

Le’Veon Bell (ribs/knee) was back on a limited basis at practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday’s practice with an illness.

Le’Veon Bell sat out of Wednesday’s practice with an illness, but he was back on Thursday.

Adam Gase said that Bell, who has also been listed with rib and knee issues, is expected to take part in practice Thursday on a limited basis.

In his first season with the Jets, Bell has dealt with multiple aliments, rushing behind a makeshift offensive line in his first season back after sitting out the entire 2018 season. Bell has gone for multiple MRIs this season, one on his shoulder and the other on his knee.

Additionally, LB Brandon Copeland (hip), CB Darryl Roberts (calf) and Ryan Kalil (knee) did not practice on Thursday.

Neither Roberts nor Kalil played vs. the Giants, but the Jets are hoping to have Copeland on Sunday. The Jets have already lost five inside linebackers to injuries this season, so Paul Worrilow and B.J. Bello would be the next men up.
