Jets' Bell could miss 'a couple weeks' with hamstring injury

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said Monday that running back Le'Veon Bell could miss "a couple weeks" while nursing his hamstring injury, according to Newsday Sports' Al Iannazzone.

Gase added that he doesn't want to put a timetable on Bell's recovery.

The tailback battled hamstring issues throughout training camp and was seen grabbing the back of his leg in the second quarter of New York's Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He returned briefly in the second half but was eventually removed.

Gase told reporters postgame that he regretted putting Bell back in the contest despite the injury.

Bell carried the ball six times for 14 yards against Buffalo, adding two receptions for 32 yards.

Gase noted that rookie La'Mical Perine is unlikely to return from his ankle injury for Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers, per Iannazzone, meaning Frank Gore and Josh Adams will handle the bulk of New York's backfield snaps.
