New York Jets coach Adam Gase announced after Sunday night's annual Green & White practice that tailback Le'Veon Bell, who hasn't played in either of the first two preseason games, will miss the final two against New Orleans and Philadelphia.
"I was about 99% sure, heading into the preseason (that Bell wouldn't play)," Gase said. "It was all based off of how he practiced, conditioning, those type of things. We talked about before we started. I told him we wanted to increase the reps last week. We're going to do the same. We'll just get him as game ready as possible."
The season-ending knee injury suffered Thursday by linebacker Avergy Williamson only reinforced Gase's decision to sit Bell.
