Forte impressing Jets with hot start, tireless work ethic

The 29-year-old Decker told reporters earlier in the week that he expects to play versus the Chiefs.

"I've got to be able to show coach I can be an asset and not a liability out there".

If he does play, Marshall said, he won't need to wear a brace but will have his knee and foot heavily taped. Both dealt with injuries last season and since the regular season is a long one, anything can happen.

If he can't play, Eric Decker - who participated in a full practice after being limited Thursday with a shoulder injury - and Quincy Enunwa will shoulder the load at wide receiver.

Marshall said he injured the foot on the same play.

After the game, Marshall said: "I thought it was over. When I have time to watch football, I want to see a good game".

"The 6'3", 245-pounder still keeps in contact with Chiefs 'backers Tamba Hali and Frank Zombo, but he said there wasn't much discussion this week. They put up a monumental season that set and even broke franchise records but the only problem was, it was very dependent on just those two to get the job done with the Jets' receiving corps.

So far, Forte has delivered, carrying 52 times in two games while running for three touchdowns and catching seven passes for 68 yards.

"I had to turn it off it was disgusting", the wide receiver said. "For me, you've got to think about, this is Week 3, and although every game is important and you approach it that way, you never want to hurt the team or hurt yourself worse". Him learning the offense for another year, he's gotten a lot better that way. A lot of people had written him off, said he was done, he's over the hill, and 30 is the drop-off.

Other Jets who didn't practice were guard James Carpenter (calf) and linebacker Erin Henderson (foot).

"Coach Belichick's really good", Marshall said with a big smile. Linebacker David Harris was limited and is questionable for Sunday.
