Bell sits, but still possible he could face Giants

The Jets are hoping running back Le’Veon Bell will be able to play Sunday against the Giants even though he sat out Wednesday’s practice.

Bell has an ankle/knee injury, according to coach Adam Gase, but there is no structural damage. Bell was in the locker room Wednesday with kinesiology tape on his right knee.

“He was trying to practice [Wednesday],” Gase said. “We were discouraging that. We thought it would not be the right thing for him to do to go out and practice. He was finally like, ‘Yeah, you’re right. I

➤ Tight end Chris Herndon was limited Wednesday after Gase initially indicated Herndon might practice fully for the first time this year. Herndon has missed all eight games this year, the last four with a hamstring injury.

“It’s going to be all about how he feels [Wednesday], open it up and just go,” Gase said. “I think that him being dressed this week and going through pregame, I think that helped him. I think he felt better when he did that. We’ll see how it goes.”

Herndon was dressed for Sunday’s game in Miami, but did not play. Gase said he thinks Herndon benefitted from going through pregame warm-ups.

“It’s kind of just one of those things. He’s trying to work through it,” Gase said.

➤ LT Kelvin Beachum (ankle) was a limited participant in practice, but it sounds like there is a good chance he will play after missing the last three games. … The Jets claimed CB Maurice Canady off waivers from the Ravens and placed S Rontez Miles on seasonending injured reserve. Miles has been dealing with neck and hip injuries. … C Ryan Kalil (knee) did not practice. … DE Henry Anderson (shoulder), LB Neville Hewitt (neck/knee), LB Jordan Jenkins (calf ), NT Steve McLendon (neck), CB Darryl Roberts (calf ), WR Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) and RG Brian Winters (knee/shoulder) were all limited.
