Chris Ivory injury: Jets RB limited in practice

Ivory hasn’t practice at all during Jets camp but participated in individual drills on Sunday. The newly-acquired running back has been dealing with hamstring tightness throughout camp.
Back in April, New York traded a fourth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for Ivory. The 25-year-old Ivory has never had a chance to be a featured running back. He has a career high of 137 carries in a season.
Still, the Jets may be counting on him to do just that. Given his history with nagging injuries and lack of experience with a heavy workload, the Jets are rolling the dice a bit.
Ivory’s career 5.1 yards per carry average was part of what attracted the Jets to him, though. And while he doesn’t have the experience, Ivory has the talent to be a No. 1 running back. So long as he stays healthy.
