Jets In Danger Of Not Having Spark Plug Powell For Clash With Bills
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — New York Jets running back Bilal Powell, right tackle Breno Giacomini and backup tight end Kellen Davis are questionable for the game against the Buffalo Bills because of injuries.
Coach Todd Bowles says neither Powell (ankle) nor Davis (foot) practiced Friday, while Giacomini (ankle) was limited. Running back Chris Ivory (knee), linebacker Calvin Pace (abdomen) and defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (toe) were also limited, but listed as probable.
Not having Powell would be a big loss for the Jets' offense. During New York's five-game winning streak, Powell has run for 162 yards and a touchdown, with 27 catches for 232 yards and a score.
Giacomini, whose right ankle is taped up, says he's feeling better and remains confident he will be able to play. Brent Qvale is his backup.
