TRIO GRANDE

-

The Jets featured three running backs in Sunday’s loss to the Raiders: Matt Forte carried nine times for 53 yards; Bilal Powell carried six times for 13 yards; rookie Elijah McGuire made his debut by carrying six times for 29 yards.

Offensive coordinato­r John Morton wants to maintain a similar rotation.

“We did a good job with the backs, all of them playing. That’s the way we want to do things,” Morton said. “Guys have specific plays, specific roles and that was another encouragin­g thing that we saw: Eli coming in and doing some good things, Matt doing some good things, even Powell. If we can just keep that going and play by committee, that's a good thing.” … Two days after cutting Kalif Raymond, the Jets re-signed the returner and receiver to their practice squad.
