Jets’ Hall out 2-3 weeks, expected to play opener
Jets' Hall sidelined 2-3 weeks with groin strain, expected ready for season opener
The update
New York Jets starting running back Breece Hall will miss two to three weeks with a groin strain, coach Aaron Glenn announced Tuesday. Hall suffered the injury Monday during practice when he went down without being touched while running toward the end zone. Despite the setback, Glenn expects Hall to be ready for the regular season opener against the Tennessee Titans on September 13.
Why it matters
This injury creates uncertainty for the Jets’ offensive rhythm during the crucial preseason period. Hall has led the Jets in rushing each of the last three seasons and is a key component of their offense. The team will be ultra-cautious with Hall, who tore his ACL as a rookie in 2022 and missed the final 10 games that season.
What to watch
The Jets’ backfield depth will be tested with Hall sidelined. Braelon Allen is currently the No. 2 running back, while Isaiah Davis (knee injury) and Kene Nwangwu round out the top options. The team may look to add a veteran running back to bolster their depth. Hall’s recovery timeline and performance in the days leading up to the opener will be closely monitored.
