New York Jets running back Mike Goodson has served his four game suspension<\/a> and is eligible to return to the team.\u00a0 The Jets are thin at WR and RB so Goodson’s return is important.\u00a0 Stephen Hill was diagnosed with a concussion and Santonio Holmes is expected to miss a few weeks with a hamstring injury.\u00a0 Since the Jets could possibly be lining up Jeremy Kerley and Clyde Gates as the starting wideouts, running the ball is going to be critical.<\/p>\n

Bilal Powell is off to a fantastic start this season, with 66 carries for 292 yards and a 4.4 yard average.\u00a0 Depth is an issue behind Powell since Chris Ivory is hurt again, so the timing is right for Goodson’s return.<\/p>\n

Kristian Dyer from Metro NY<\/a> has some more information on how Goodson trained for his return.<\/p>\n

\n

Goodson will simulate a number of drives on this Saturday, trying to replicate the amount of carries and running he will have to do in Week 5 when his suspension is over and he can return to the field. During the week, he worked out five days a week, twice-a-day and watched his diet carefully. But it is this weekend session that has him feeling like he can step on the field and be ready for Monday night at the Falcons.<\/p>\n

Some things of course he can\u2019t replicate, like the beating he will take from NFL linebackers who will look to level him on any given Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most I can do is hit the sleds outside but there\u2019s nothing you can really do to have your body feel like that. I was watching \u2018Sports Science\u2019 [on ESPN] the other day and they said that an NFL hit is like a car crash to your body,\u201d Goodson said. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing really you can do to make your body feel like that. But you try to hit the sleds, do stuff like that. Try to be physical in the weight room as far as explosion stuff but that\u2019s about it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Geno Smith is coming off a rough outing<\/a> so the more the Jets can do to take the pressure off of him on Monday night, the better their chances of winning.\u00a0 Mike Goodson will take the field on Friday night with a pair of fresh legs.\u00a0 With all the other injuries, he will be greeted with open arms by Rex Ryan and Marty Morhinweg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
