Rich Cimini, ESPN staff writer, reports that New York Jets running back Breece Hall is ready to face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at Nissan Stadium after missing over two weeks with a strained groin. "It was actually a very good two-week vacation," Hall joked. "I feel really fresh now."

Hall, 25, is coming off his first 1,000-yard season and signed a three-year, $43.5 million contract in May. He gave the Jets a scare on Aug. 17 with a noncontact injury. "I took enough time off, so I feel good right now," he said.

Quarterback Geno Smith said, "When No. 20 has the ball, you know something special is going to happen." Offensive coordinator Frank Reich added, "If he's healthy, he's healthy." Backups Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis may get carries.

Hall will face former Jets Jermaine Johnson, John Franklin-Myers, and Solomon Thomas, and Titans coach Robert Saleh. Rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq is expected to play a limited role after hernia surgery.
