Breece Hall Exits Jets Practice After Untouched Midsection Injury

The non-contact incident threatens the Jets' backfield plans as the team waits for an official medical update.

Overview

  • Breece Hall went down while running after a red-zone catch at practice and left the field under his own power to the medical tent with trainers for treatment to his upper right leg.
  • Multiple beat reporters have described the play as a non-contact event and ESPN's Rich Cimini said the injury looks like a possible groin issue, but the Jets have not issued a formal status update.
  • Hall played in a preseason game earlier and has a three-year, $43.5 million extension that makes him a central piece of the offense based on his recent 1,000-yard season and scrimmage production.
  • If Hall misses time the Jets would turn to Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis for primary carrying duties with Kene Nwangwu also in the rotation, which could prompt short-term roster moves.
  • Monday’s practice injury leaves the club and fans watching for a team medical report and any changes in practice participation that will clarify how long Hall might be sidelined.
