Jets running back Matt Forte is active for Saturday night’s game vs. the Dolphins despite a knee injury.

Forte had been listed as questionable. The Jets are still expected to use running back Bilal Powell as well as Forte.

As expected, wide receiver Brandon Marshall and defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson are active despite being listed as questionable. The Jets had previously listed four players -- cornerback Buster Skrine, defensive tackle Steve McLendon and linebackers Lorenzo Mauldin and Mike Catapano -- as out.

The Dolphins had listed nine players as questionable, but all are active. With Ryan Tannehill out due to a knee injury, Matt Moore makes his first start since 2011.

At 8-5 the Dolphins are trying to stay alive in the playoff race.
