EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - The Jets faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles to wrap up their 2017 Preseason. A short week, made even shorter due to a coaching change, saw an uneven performance from the Jets offense. The first team struggled on the ground but was able to together two scoring drives, a B. Powell touchdown run and a chip-shot field goal to start the 2nd quarter. The 2nd and 3rd team offense, both led by Hackenburg, were able to move the ball but had difficulties converting 3rd downs.
The biggest impact of this game came early in the 1st quarter when HB Matt Forte went down with an injury on the opening drive. He was able to walk off the field on what was apparently a knee injury.
After the game HC Todd Bowles was informed that Forte suffered a Grade 2 MCL injury, with a return timetable of 6-10 weeks. With Forte set to miss half of the season it was decided he would be placed on Injured Reserve. Asked if Forte could return during the 2017 season, Bowles said they would "play it by ear."
