Report: Jets’ Braelon Allen Diagnosed With MCL Sprain, Likely Headed to IR

With a second opinion forthcoming, New York is weighing backfield adjustments after its 0-4 start.

Overview

  • NFL reporter Ian Rapoport says Allen suffered an MCL sprain that is expected to lead to an injured-reserve stint of at least four games.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn described the knee issue as “pretty serious” but declined to confirm any IR move while Allen seeks a second opinion.
  • Allen was hurt on a kickoff return during Monday’s 27-21 loss to the Dolphins and did not return.
  • Through four games, the second-year back has 93 total yards and one touchdown on 20 touches after entering the season as Breece Hall’s primary backup.
  • Rookie Isaiah Davis could see increased opportunities as the Jets prepare for the Cowboys and Broncos.
