Jets RB Breece Hall Groin Strain Likely Minor

New York Jets running back Breece Hall strained his right groin during Monday’s practice, but Coach Aaron Glenn said the injury does not appear serious. Hall fell on the grass after a swing pass in the red zone, limping to the sideline for a medical check before heading to the locker room. Glenn noted, "I don’t think it was a big deal, but I want to make sure I get the evaluation on that." Team mate Braelon Allen expressed relief, hoping Hall recovers quickly.

Hall, 25, rushed for a career‑high $1,065 yards last season and was recently given the franchise tag before signing a three‑year, $43.5 million deal, making him the fourth‑highest‑paid running back at the time. With the Jets opening in 27 days against the Tennessee Titans, his health is vital to a rush‑heavy offense that OC Frank Reich wants to lean on.

Isaiah Davis is out with a minor knee injury, leaving Allen, Kene Nwangwu, Chip Trayanum and rookie Sam Scott as the backfield options. The team will remain cautious, as Hall has missed only two games in the last three seasons. Meanwhile, Geno Smith, T’Vondre Sweat and Joseph Ossai returned to practice after injuries.
