InjuryJets activate WR Lucky Whitehead

The Jets have placed running backs Matt Forté (knee) and Akeem Judd (ankle) on Injured Reserve and activated RB Jahad Thomas and WR Lucky Whitehead from the practice squad. The Jets also added WR Dan Williams to the practice squad.

Forté has battled a knee injury for the majority of the season, causing him to miss three games. The 10th-year vet totaled 381 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 103 carries. He also added 37 receptions for 293 yards and one score. (NewYorkJets.com)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Forte hasn’t had much practice time over the last couple weeks but has be active on game day. His absence should mean Bilal Powell will see the majority of touches in the season finale against the Patriots. New England represents a neutral matchup for fantasy running backs and Powell saw 25 touches last week.
