Le’Veon Bell is banged up and a bit under the weather, but that’s not enough to keep him off the field when the Jets take on the Redskins in Week 11.
After being listed as questionable throughout the week, Bell is active and will start for New York. Sunday also marks the return of Neville Hewitt, who has missed the last four games due to injury. Henry Anderson, Kelvin Beachum, Demaryius Thomas, Brandon Copeland and Alex Lewis are all set to play for the Jets after dealing with injuries in the days leading up to the game.

With Darryl Roberts missing his second consecutive game and Nate Hairston out, rookie Bless Austin will continue to assume an increased role in New York’s secondary following his standout NFL debut against the Giants last week.
As for the Redskins, they’ll be without running back Chris Thompson, wide receiver Paul Richardson Jr. and tight end Vernon Davis, who were all ruled out earlier in the week.
