Jets RB Le'Veon Bell leaves game vs. Bills with hamstring injury

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 9/13/20

Le'Veon Bell previously denied that there was anything wrong with his hamstring in August, and now it seems otherwise.

The New York Jets running back left Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills with, you guessed it, a hamstring injury. He's unlikely to return for the remainder of the game.

Bell had just six carries for 14 yards before exiting the game in the third quarter. He added two receptions for 32 yards receiving.

The 28-year-old had issues with Adam Gase resting him during a scrimmage because of hamstring tightness, but now it seems like the head coach absolutely made the right call.

If Bell misses an extended period of time, New York will have to rely on veteran rusher Frank Gore and rookie La'Mical Perine.
