Jets RB Breece Hall week-to-week with quad injury

New York Jets running back Breece Hall, who injured his right quadriceps Sunday, is considered week-to-week, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Monday. There was some sense of relief, as an MRI showed that Hall avoided a long-term injury, a source said. Nevertheless, he likely won't be ready to play Sunday against the Chicago Bears, a blow to the Jets' already struggling rushing attack.

After a 152-yard rushing day in the opener, the Jets (1-2) managed only 67 and 58 yards in Weeks 2 and 3, including only 61 yards on 29 carries (2.1-yard average) for Hall. The Jets will lean heavily on third-year backs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis while Hall is sidelined.

Injuries are mounting for the Jets, who played without wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) and tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. Their status for Sunday is uncertain. Coach Aaron Glenn provided no update Monday on Hall or left guard Dylan Parham (knee), who also was injured Sunday.

"[The run game] is one area that we have to fix," said Glenn, adding there's an "urgency in trying to make sure that we get that done, because that's been a strong point of ours, especially after the first game. To have these two games to where we didn't run it as well, that's something that we have to dial into to make sure that we get those things fixed."
