5 years agoNew York Jets running back Bilal Powell would be in line for a starter's workload if running back Le'Veon Bell (illness) misses the game. Bell missed practice Thursday and Friday with an illness and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's home date with Miami. Ty Montgomery would also likely see passing downs work in Bell's absence but the Jets have been relying on Powell more than Montgomery as the season goes on. Powell has gotten between four and seven carries four weeks in a row and has even played full offensive series in recent games when the Jets give Bell a rest. The Jets should provide an update on Bell Saturday but Powell would be in the RB2 discussion in a good matchup if Bell is out. SATURDAY UPDATE: Bell has officially been ruled out for Week 14.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
