Jets’ Braelon Allen Out 8-12 Weeks With Knee Injury, Placed on IR

Coach Aaron Glenn said Allen will choose between rehab or surgery on the MCL injury with a similar recovery window.

Overview

  • Allen was injured on a kickoff return during Monday’s 27-21 loss to the Dolphins and was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
  • The recovery timeline could allow an early-December return, with a later comeback still possible depending on progress.
  • New York signed veteran Khalil Herbert off the Seahawks’ practice squad to add backfield depth and kick-return experience.
  • Isaiah Davis is expected to move into the No. 2 role behind Breece Hall for Sunday’s matchup with the Cowboys.
  • Allen logged 76 rushing yards and one touchdown on 18 carries this season after a 334-yard rookie year, a setback for a run-focused 0-4 Jets team.
