New York Jets running back Matt Forte underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus on Friday, head coach Todd Bowles told the media (via Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News) on Monday. 
Connor Hughes of NJ.com reported Forte is expected to be ready for the offseason conditioning program in the spring.
Forte had not appeared in a game since Week 15 but was placed on season-ending injured reserve because of a nerve issue in his shoulder. 
The torn meniscus plagued Forte for portions of the 2016 season, but he still managed to play the first 14 games of the year.
It was a difficult ending to a first season with the Jets that turned out to be the worst year of his nine-year career. The first eight of those seasons came with the Chicago Bears. He became one of the best dual-threat backs in franchise history thanks to his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and his patient running style.
