Jets’ Braelon Allen Sidelined by Serious Knee Injury as Second Opinion Weighs IR Decision

The Jets await a second opinion to decide on injured reserve.

Overview

  • Allen was injured on a second-quarter kickoff return in Monday’s 27-21 loss at Miami and was ruled out for the game.
  • Coach Aaron Glenn called it a “pretty serious” knee injury, and Allen was seen on crutches at the facility Wednesday.
  • Multiple outlets report a sprained MCL and indicate he appears headed to injured reserve for a minimum four-game absence, though no move is official.
  • Isaiah Davis is expected to take a larger role behind Breece Hall, with Kene Nwangwu listed day-to-day after a hamstring injury.
  • The Jets, ranked top-three in rushing, are 0-4 and host the Cowboys on Sunday, with short-yardage plans and kickoff returns impacted.
