New York Jets place RB Matt Forte on injured reserve

The New York Jets placed running back Matt Forte on injured reserve Friday after he was ruled out of Sunday's game with the Buffalo Bills due to a knee injury.

Forte has been playing with a torn meniscus in his right knee as well as a sore shoulder.

The 31-year-old rushed for a career-low 813 yards this season. It was his second straight season below 1,000 yards after he reached the milestone in five of his first seven NFL seasons as a member of the Chicago Bears.

Forte has two seasons remaining on a three-year contract and stated he plans to play at least one more season.

New York promoted cornerback Bryson Keeton from the practice squad to fill the roster opening.

Also ruled out for the finale are linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin (ankle), defensive tackle Steve McLendon (hamstring) and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (hamstring).

Cornerback Nick Marshall (hamstring) was listed as doubtful for the contest.
