Breece Hall Exits Jets Practice With Strained Groin

Coach Aaron Glenn has ordered imaging to confirm the injury and the test results will help decide whether backups must carry the load for the opener.

Overview

  • The Jets’ lead running back went down untouched during a red-zone drill at training camp and walked off slowly with trainers to the team’s medical tent on Monday.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn said Hall suffered a groin strain, called it not believed to be a major issue, and said Hall will “absolutely” undergo imaging and further evaluation.
  • Multiple outlets reported the injury was non-contact, a detail that raised initial concern because such injuries can indicate serious soft-tissue damage.
  • The Jets have not given a return timetable and will await imaging results before deciding whether Hall will miss preseason or regular-season time.
  • If Hall is sidelined, third-year back Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis are the next options for carries, a shift that could change the team’s offense in preseason games and into the Sept. 13 opener.
