Breece Hall (groin) seen working on side field

Hall couldn’t get anything going on the ground, and that was mainly on the offensive line, which got no push against the Packers’ defensive front. More troubling was that Hall played on 48 of the team’s 74 snaps and ceded work to Braelon Allen, including a goal-line touchdown run. Hall’s receiving ability will help him save some fantasy value, and his 43-yard reception was basically all thanks to his ability after the catch, but the offensive line and Allen may keep Hall as a low-end RB2 unless his role changes.

The 10th 100-yard rushing effort of Hall’s career came behind what appeared to be a much-improved Jets offensive line. His score was an untouched four-yard rumble in the fourth quarter. Backup Braelon Allen also found the end zone, but it was called back by holding. Hall out-touched his No. 2 24-10. That’s a decent amount of work for Allen, but came in a contest the Jets controlled from start to finish and just wanted to end after the break. Hall is looking like a high-end RB2 heading into Week 2 against the Packers.

Hall suffered a groin injury in camp but never appeared to be at risk of missing any time during the regular season. He practiced in full throughout the week and even told reporters he could handle a full workload on Sunday. Hall will be a high-end RB2 versus the Titans this week.

It’s unclear whether Hall added the “if necessary” bit or if Cimini did, but regardless, this is good to hear. Hall is practicing in full leading up to the Jets’ Week 1 game against the Titans and can be treated as an RB1. Jets RB3 Isaiah Davis (knee) is also practicing fully.

This news was expected, but it is great to see, regardless. Hall is set to handle a sizable, RB1-worthy workload this season, having been paid accordingly by the Jets’ front office back in May. The Titans field an unimposing defense. A ceiling outcome is in play for the veteran running back.

This comes a few hours after it was reported that Hall was “moving well” while participating in agility drills on the sideline. Hall suffered a groin injury last week and is expected to miss two or three weeks, but a return in time for Week 1 was always in the cards. Hall is one of several players Glenn is hoping to have back in time for Week 1. He also said he expects TE Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) and CB D’Angelo Ponds (calf) to be ready for Week 1. Hall is in the mix as a fringe RB1/RB2 this season and is expected to handle another heavy workload in his fifth season.

Hall suffered a groin strain and left Monday’s practice with Glenn saying he didn’t think the injury was a big deal. Now Hall is set to miss the next 2-3 weeks. The good news is that Hall is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but the kind of breakout season fantasy drafters are looking for from Hall typically don’t begin with a multi-week preseason injury. Hall may be ready for the start of the season, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan. Braelon Allen is the late-round handcuff for Hall if his absence does extend into the regular season.

Glenn said he doesn’t believe Hall’s injury “was a big deal,” but said the star RB will be evaluated. It sounds like Hall avoided anything too serious, but given the nature of these types of injuries, it wouldn’t be surprising if Hall was sidelined for at least a few days. With Hall and Isaiah Davis (knee) both sidelined, the Jets are relatively thin at RB at the moment. Braelon Allen will slide into RB1 duties until Hall can return, and remains an intriguing late-round pick as the handcuff for Hall in fantasy leagues.

This is a developing story, so we might not know the specifics of Hall’s injury for a while. ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported that Hall went down untouched after making a catch, while Jets beat writer Brian Costello speculated that it could be a groin injury for Hall. It’s all speculation at this point, but the Jets losing Hall for any length of time would be a tough blow for the offense. He’s once again expected to handle a three-down workload after seeing a 33 percent opportunity share last season. We will check back in when we learn more about Hall’s status.

Glenn reportedly wanted to use his backfield in a similar fashion last season before Allen went down in Week 4, according to an article published by ESPN. This would be potentially brutal news for fantasy managers eyeing Breece Hall in drafts, although it is worth pointing out that in the three complete games both Hall and Allen played together, Hall appeared on 59 percent of the team’s snaps while Allen played on 29 percent of snaps, and Davis just 15 percent. Hall also had 51 total opportunities over that span, while Allen and Davis combined for 22 opportunities. Time will tell if Glenn and offensive coordinator Frank Reich really do lean into this “three-headed monster” idea, but it’s hard to imagine Hall, who recently signed a three-year, $43.5 million contract, losing enough work to be forced out of the mix as a fringe RB1/RB2 given his three-down skillset. That said, both Allen and Davis could serve as viable late-round handcuffs for Hall should he ever miss time.
