Jets RB Breece Hall not expected to play Sunday vs. Raiders in Week 8
Breece Hall is expected to miss his fourth consecutive games due to a quadriceps injury, NFL Network reports. Braelon Allen is in line to start again.
The New York Jets are set to lose their starting running back Breece Hall for the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Hall is not expected to participate in the match, which is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Fox. The injury that has kept Hall out of action for the last four games is a quadriceps issue.
Despite participating in limited practice sessions this week, the team decided to observe him complete a full workout before allowing him back onto the field. Braelon Allen will take over the starting role for the Jets. Allen has been performing well in the absence of Hall, averaging 89.3 rushing yards per game over the four starts he has had in his place.
In Week 7, when Allen played, he gained 104 yards on 17 carries and also contributed with a season-high six receptions for 30 yards against the Dolphins. Sources from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler indicate that the Jets are optimistic about bringing Hall back for their next game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The current depth chart for the Jets' running backs includes Hall (injured), Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis, and Kene Nwangwu.
