Glenn: Breece Hall (quad) will play vs. Chiefs
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Jets head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that Breece Hall (quad) will return to play in Week 9 against the Chiefs, following Hall's own expectation to play this week.
- Hall's return complicates the Jets' backfield, as Braelon Allen has performed strongly in Hall's absence, leading to a planned split of carries between the two running backs.
- Jets OC Frank Reich referred to Hall as the "bell cow" but acknowledged the backfield will feature a mix of both Hall and Allen, with Hall likely ranking as a high-end RB2 and Allen remaining FLEX-viable.
- Despite speculation, Glenn denied any plans to trade Hall before the deadline, emphasizing the team's intention to keep their key players.
- Other NFL injury updates include Khalil Shakir (undisclosed) not practicing for the Bills, Colby Parkinson (ribs) and Jordan Whittington (back) questionable for Week 9, and Rams players Terrance Ferguson (ankle) and Myles Garrett (knee) expected to play.
