The New York Jets lost a close game with the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. However, they may not even be able to put up much of an offense against the Cleveland Browns if Le'Veon Bell is out with a shoulder injury.
ProFootballTalk's Josh Alper detailed that Bell is getting an MRI for his shoulder. Team coach Adam Gase revealed the news in the same presser that revealed Sam Darnold being sidelined due to mono., but remained “hopeful” Bell's shoulder is nothing more than soreness.
It’s a shoulder injury that’s being checked out for the big-ticket free agent acquisition. Gase said that Bell is experiencing soreness and the team is hopeful that it isn’t anything more than that.

Linebacker C.J. Mosley is not practicing because of a groin injury, first-round pick Quinnen Williams is not practicing because of an ankle injury and wide receiver Quincy Enunwa‘s season is over because of a neck injury, so optimism feels like a tough sell for a team that opened the year by blowing a 16-0 third quarter lead in a 17-16 loss to the Bills.
With such players out for the season, it's almost impossible to imagine what kind of lineup Gase can field against the Browns. However, Bell and the rest of the team knows how big their upcoming game is:
“It’s very important. We’re obviously off to a rocky start right now, so we at least want to break even. It’s a good opportunity to do that on Monday night,” said Bell of the Jets’ Week 2 matchup, per the Jets' official site.
