Glenn: Hall suffered strained groin on Monday
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Jets running back Breece Hall suffered an injury after making a catch, with initial speculation pointing to a possible groin injury; his absence would significantly impact the Jets' offense given his expected three-down role this season.
- Backup running backs Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen are expected to share snaps behind Hall, with no clear lead backup emerging; Allen is recovering from a knee injury that sidelined him for most of last season.
- Head coach Aaron Glenn envisions a "three-headed monster" backfield with Hall, Allen, and Davis, though Hall remains the primary workhorse and highest-paid running back on the team with a recently signed three-year, $43.5 million contract.
- Contract negotiations between Hall and the Jets remain ongoing, with Hall currently under the franchise tag; there is speculation he may prefer to leave the team, but no trade has been finalized despite interest from other teams.
- Hall's performance last season included 1,065 rushing yards and 36 receptions, and while the Jets are undergoing a rebuild, he is expected to be a key offensive contributor if he remains with the team.
