​

The Jets announced two transactions Friday, placing RB Matt Forté on injured reserve and promoting DB Bryson Keeton to the active roster.

Limited by a post-bye knee injury, Forté was ruled out for a second consecutive week. He combined for only seven carries and 29 yards against the Patriots and the Colts in Weeks 12 and 13 respectively as Bilal Powell took over the bell cow duties. After averaging 73.2 yards on the ground and recording seven rush touchdowns in his first 10 games for the Green & White, Forté finished with 813 rush yards in addition to 30 receptions and eight total TDs.

Keeton (6'2", 190), a Montana State product, was one of 22 tryout players who participated in rookie minicamp before signing with the Green & White. He had 64 plays on defense in the preseason, was waived and then spent the entire regular season on the practice squad.

Never understood why we didn't end his season sooner. We actually put the man in the game with a torn meniscus.

I thought Forte would have been "stronger" than he was for the Jets this year
