Jets' Braelon Allen Ruled Out With Knee Injury on Kickoff Return vs. Dolphins

The team awaits medical assessment to determine the injury's severity.

Overview

  • Allen was injured in the second quarter on a kickoff return when a Jets defender hit the side of his left knee and it bent awkwardly.
  • He stayed down for several moments, went to the sideline medical tent, then walked gingerly to the locker room before being ruled out.
  • The Jets provided no immediate diagnosis or timetable for Allen's recovery.
  • A second-year back with limited offensive usage, Allen entered the night with 14 carries for 50 yards and two receptions for 17 yards, and he shared kick-return duties with Isaiah Davis and Xavier Gipson.
  • If Allen misses additional time, Breece Hall is expected to handle a larger workload with Isaiah Davis and Kene Nwangwu in reserve roles.
