Jets Place RB Braelon Allen on IR With Knee Injury, Out 8–12 Weeks

Coach Aaron Glenn projected an 8–12 week absence pending Allen’s treatment choice.

Overview

  • Allen was injured on a kickoff return in Monday’s 27-21 loss to the Dolphins and was formally placed on injured reserve Thursday.
  • The knee issue is characterized as an MCL sprain, and Glenn said Allen is weighing rehab versus surgery with a similar recovery timeline for either option.
  • New York signed veteran Khalil Herbert off Seattle’s practice squad to bolster depth and kick-return options.
  • Isaiah Davis moves into the No. 2 role behind Breece Hall, with return specialist Kene Nwangwu a game-time decision due to a hamstring and Avery Williams added to the practice squad.
  • The absence removes the Jets’ primary power back during a 0-4 start, with the earliest realistic return projected for late November or early December and the possibility he sits the rest of the season.
