Herbert (groin) was listed as a limited participant in the Jets' practice estimate Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Herbert appears closer to making his return after sitting out the Week 10 win over the Browns with a groin injury. If the 27-year-old ends up being able to suit up for Thursday's matchup versus the Patriots, he will likely resume his role as the team's No. 3 running back and kick returner.
