Rich Cimini Sep 27, 2026, 07:09 PM ET Close Running back Breece Hall suffered a thigh injury in the fourth quarter of the New York Jets' 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. Hall was tackled out of bounds and immediately clutched his right thigh, later stating he likely will undergo an MRI on Monday. His absence would be a significant blow to the Jets offense, already depleted by injuries to Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor.

Despite the setbacks, the Jets rallied from a 24-10 fourth-quarter deficit behind Geno Smith, who threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson returned from concussion protocol and made a key acrobatic catch to tie the game. However, the defense collapsed late, allowing Jared Goff to engineer a game-winning drive highlighted by wide-open receivers Isaac Te Slaa and Jahmyr Gibbs.

The Jets fell to 1-2, with coach Aaron Glenn acknowledging the team must close a persistent gap in critical moments. Smith took responsibility for the final drive failure, citing a missed blitz pickup by Braelon Allen and a costly strip sack by Chuck Clark. The Jets continue to struggle in close games, blowing leads in consecutive weeks.
