Because the training camps lasted less and also there were no preseason games, it was to be expected that there would be some players hurt by the lack of rhythm, but no one imagined that there were so many. Three players will miss the remainder of the campaign and now Le’Veon Bell’s injury with the New York Jets was also complicated.
He only managed 24 yards in the first game of the season.
This is his second season with the Jets, which did not start in the best way, but the worst part is that the first was not good at all. The running back left the Pittsburgh Steelers with the intention of get a millionaire contract, which he achieved, but without being able to triumph in the grids.
In 2019, he finished with 789 rushing yards, his worst since the 2015 season when he hit 500 due to injury. His 3.2-yard-per-carry average was the second worst among 47 running backs with at least 100 carries in 2019 and to his bad luck, 2020 does not look to be better.

It will be lost for several weeks (it is not known how many).
During his team’s 27-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the running back suffered a hamstring injury and according to the NFL Network’s Kimberly Jones, the team put him on the disabled list, which paints so that it is without action at least 3 weeks.
In case it is only those three designated games, Bell could return for week 5 at MetLife Stadium against the Arizona Cardinals, that means that he would only miss the games against San Francisco 49ers, in Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos.

Is it time for the team to let him go?
The Le’Veon Bell’s injury with the New York Jets adds to the poor performance he has had lately, plus he is the broker with the largest contract against the salary cap in 2020 ($ 15,468,750) and that could cause those in the ‘Big Apple’ to think about cutting him before his term ends. contract to release a little financial situation.
