FLORHAM PARK, N.J. _ The Jets placed running back Matt Forte on injured reserve Friday afternoon, two days before their Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills.
Forte _ who rushed for a career-low 813 yards and had a career-low 30 receptions for 263 yards and eight total touchdowns in his first Jets season _ is the 18th player on the team to be placed on IR.
The 31-year-old played most of the season with a torn meniscus in his right knee and was forced to sit out last week's loss in New England because of the knee and a shoulder injury. After Friday's practice, he was ruled out against the Bills by coach Todd Bowles.
Running backs Bilal Powell (knee) and Brandon Wilds (hamstring) were limited Friday and are questionable.
Bryson Keeton was promoted from the practice squad.
