Hall carries appeal as a potential workhorse for a Jets squad that improved its offensive line, but a mid-August groin strain is the latest of issues that could keep his Fantasy upside in check. That's why he should be expected to get drafted between 35th and 45th overall. Before the injury, Hill was coming off a down year and was facing the prospect of losing passing-downs snaps again on a team that figures to rank in the bottom 10 in points scored just as they have for the past seven seasons (and bottom five in six of seven). Having a healthy Braelon Allen back on the field also means a handful of carries getting taken off his plate. Although he averaged a career-high 15.2 rush attempts per game, he also lost a huge chunk of third-down work to Isaiah Davis and posted a career-low three targets and 2.3 receptions per game. That's expected to continue in 2026 -- new offensive coordinator Frank Reich has always utilized a running-downs back and a passing-downs back. New quarterback Geno Smith not only has a career RB target rate of 17.6% but also has led one RB to over 15 PPR points in six years as a full-time starter (Kenneth Walker, 16.5 in 11 games in 2024). Additions to the Jets' passing game may lighten the rushing workload as well. Landing a big contract extension takes the pressure off Hall to perform, not that it made a difference last year when he averaged 13 PPR and 10.7 non-PPR points.
Jets' Breece Hall: Will be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks
Rotowire
Hall (groin) will be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
The groin injury Hall sustained Monday will cost him the rest of the preseason, but if things go as planned, head coach Aaron Glenn anticipates he will be ready for the start of the regular season. Hall's absence will afford Braelon Allen -- and presumably Isaiah Davis (knee) if healthy -- more reps with the starters over the remainder of camp.

Jets' Breece Hall: Will watch practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Hall (groin) was in attendance for Tuesday's practice, though he wasn't in uniform and was observing the session off to the side, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Hall exited Monday's session early after sustaining a right groin strain, an injury that the Jets believe to be a minor concern that won't threaten his availability for the team's Week 1 game against the Titans. While Hall is probably at least a week away from mixing back into drills, his presence at practice seemingly supports the notion that he's not in line for a long-term absence. With Isaiah Davis also having been sidelined for the past week due to a minor knee injury, Braelon Allen should be in line for the bulk of the reps with the Jets' first-team offense in practice until Hall makes his return to the field.

Jets' Breece Hall: Groin strain is considered 'minor'
Rotowire
The follow-up on the groin injury Hall sustained Monday confirmed that the injury is minor, according to Connor Hughes of SNY.tv.
Hughes notes that the Jets will be cautious with the running back, suggesting that Hall may be more week-to-week than day-to-day. However, Hughes did add that all indications are that the Jets' top back will be available for Week 1 action. As a result, Hall's status will need to be monitored closely ahead of the team's Sept. 13 season opener against the Titans. With Isaiah Davis managing a knee injury, Braelon Allen figures to see added first-team RB reps in the coming days.

Jets' Breece Hall: Dealing with groin strain, per head coach
Rotowire
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Hall sustained a groin strain during Monday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall went down with the injury on a non-contact play, as he caught a swing pass and then tumbled to the ground as he ran upfield, per aBrian Costello of the New York Post. Glenn acknowledged that he doesn't believe that Hall's injury is a "big deal," but the Jets will evaluate the running back more thoroughly and send him in for imaging before a timeline for his return is established, per Cimini. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis (knee) are next up on the Jets' depth chart at running back and would be in line for more opportunities with the first-team offense if Hall misses practice time or preseason action.

Jets' Breece Hall: Sustains thigh injury at Monday's practice
Rotowire
Hall sustained a right thigh injury at Monday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Per the report, Hall "caught a swing pass and then pulled up and fell down," which required a look from the training staff. The extent of the injury is not yet known, but Hall's status will be updated when more information is available.

Jets' Breece Hall: Set to operate as bellcow
Rotowire
Hall is expected to be featured more prominently as the Jets' lead back this season, Connor Hughes of SNY.TV reports.
Hall signed a three-year, $45.75 million contract with the Jets in May, and it now appears as if the 25-year-old's offensive snap share will go up in his fifth campaign with the team. The running back's usage peaked at a 67.5 percent offensive snap share in 2024 before dropping down to 61.1 percent in 2025. With the heightened expectations for Hall, Braelon Allen is set to operate as a clear No. 2 option while Isaiah Davis will play third fiddle in the backfield this year.

Jets' Breece Hall: Lands three-year extension
Rotowire
The Jets and Hall (knee) agreed to terms on a three-year, $45.75 million contract Friday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
With an average annual value of $15.25 million on the deal, Hall becomes the third-highest paid running back in the NFL behind the Eagles' Saquon Barkley ($20.6 million) and the 49ers' Christian McCaffrey ($19 million). Despite being in mostly dreadful offenses in four seasons since the Jets selected him in the second round of the 2022 Draft, Hall has averaged 1,453 yards from scrimmage and 7.3 touchdowns per year over the last three campaigns. He even put together the first 1,000-yard season on the ground of his career (1,065, to be exact) in 2025. Moving forward, Hall will remain the engine of New York's offense.

Jets' Breece Hall: Officially gets non-exclusive tag
Rotowire
The Jets officially placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Hall (knee) on Tuesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
It was initially reported that New York would place the franchise tag on Hall, but the non-exclusive variation allows the running back to negotiate with other teams. The Jets will retain the right to match any offer and be entitled to two first-round picks as compensation from any team he signs with, a prohibitive enough cost to make any such deal unlikely. Still, Hall's ability to negotiate with other teams could open up trade possibilities in the event that he isn't able to reach terms on a long-term extension with the Jets by the July 15 deadline.

Jets' Breece Hall: Return to NYJ in play for UFA
Rotowire
Jets GM Darren Mougey said at Tuesday's end-of-season press conference that the team would like to retain Hall (knee) but wouldn't go into specifics regarding whether the Jets are open to using the franchise tag on the pending unrestricted free agent, Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reports.
Hall sat out the Jets' regular-season finale due to a knee injury after posting a career-high 1,065 rushing yards across the previous 16 games. The versatile playmaker has accrued 5,040 yards from scrimmage in 56 regular-season games since being selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but Hall has yet to get a taste of NFL postseason action. Hall's likely to have a robust market in free agency, but the Jets could try to bring him back for his age-25 season on the franchise tag if Hall isn't interested in a long-term extension to stay in New York.

Jets' Breece Hall: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots after practicing in a limited fashion Friday.
After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Hall was limited both Thursday and Friday before being deemed questionable for Week 18 action. If the Jets' top running back is unavailable for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert would be next up for the team's carries, with Isaiah Davis (concussion) ruled out for the contest.

Hall logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday, but the running back's presence at Thursday's session suggests that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Bills. The Jets' upcoming injury report will clarify Hall's official participation level, in any case.

Jets' Breece Hall: Hurts knee Sunday
Rotowire
Hall was forced out of Sunday's game against the Patriots with a knee injury.
Before his exit from the contest, Hall carried 14 times for 111 yards and a TD and caught two of his three targets for 18 yards. Meanwhile, Isaiah Davis was ruled out of the remainder of the contest due to a concussion, leaving Khalil Herbert and Kene Nwangwu to handle the Jets' RB carries as Sunday's game winds down.

Jets' Breece Hall: Stymied in Week 15 loss
Rotowire
Hall rushed 12 times for 23 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Hall seemed bothered by the knee injury that cut into his practice participation during the week, and he was held to 44 or fewer rushing yards for the third time in four games. Isaiah Davis was the Jets' most effective running back in this lopsided loss, with a 24-yard touchdown run among his 58 rushing yards on nine carries. Hall's inching closer to the 1,000-yard mark on the ground, as he'll need exactly 100 rushing yards to get there in Week 16 at New Orleans.

Jets' Breece Hall: Ready for Week 15
Rotowire
Hall (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall kicked off this week with no practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, but he progressed from limited Thursday to all activity Friday, clearing him to continue to lead the Jets backfield this weekend. Since the team's Week 9 bye, he's racked up 93 touches for 427 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs over the last five contests. With undrafted rookie QB Brady Cook set to start Sunday with Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) unavailable, Hall could take on even more of the onus for New York's offense.

Jets' Breece Hall: Bottled up in Week 14
Rotowire
Hall rushed 14 times for 43 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Miami stacked the box without fear and focused on containing Hall after Tyrod Taylor's first-half groin injury forced third-string quarterback Brady Cook into action for the Jets. Hall's 43 scrimmage yards marked his lowest total since Week 2, and he could struggle to find running room against Jacksonville's stout run defense in Week 15, especially if the Jets don't get either Taylor or Justin Fields (knee) back at quarterback. With four games remaining in the regular season, Hall needs 123 rushing yards to secure the first 1,000-yard rushing season of his four-year NFL career.

Jets' Breece Hall: Opens scoring in win over Falcons
Rotowire
Hall rushed 19 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.
Hall capitalized on a muffed punt by Atlanta in the second quarter with a two-yard touchdown run on the next play. His third rushing touchdown of the season opened the scoring, and after losing their previous 10 games when scoring first, the Jets avoided tying a dubious NFL record by avoiding an 11th such loss. Hall got all 19 of the carries among Jets running backs in the win, and his versatile skill set should earn him another heavy workload in Week 14 against a Dolphins defense that has struggled to stop the run.

Jets' Breece Hall: Leading rusher and receiver again
Rotowire
Hall rushed 16 times for 44 yards and caught all four of his targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.
Hall has recorded at least 111 scrimmage yards in six of 11 games this season and at least 119 yards in three of the past four games. His fumble came at the two-yard line in the fourth quarter as he was battling for extra yards at the end of an 11-yard run. Hall led the Jets in both rushing yards and receiving yards for the second time in the past three games, so he's poised to maintain a significant role in the Jets' underwhelming offense against the Falcons in Week 13.

Hall rushed 21 times for 83 yards and caught his only target for a 42-yard touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.
Hall took a screen pass to the house for a 42-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Jets' two longest offensive plays besides that touchdown were runs of 30 and 22 yards by Hall. After having zero touchdowns through seven games, Hall has produced two rushing touchdowns, a receiving score and a touchdown pass across his last two outings. He should continue to lead the Jets' run-heavy offense Thursday against the Patriots.

Jets' Breece Hall: Cleared to play Week 8
Rotowire
Hall (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Though Hall took a questionable tag into the weekend, the Jets didn't provide any indication that he was at major risk of sitting out Sunday after he turned in a full practice Friday. After averaging 5.3 yards per carry and 8.8 yards per reception through the Jets' first five games, Hall has struggled to find open running room in the last two contests, losses to Denver and Carolina. In those matchups, he took 33 carries for 97 yards (2.9 YPC) while producing a 2-14-0 receiving line on three targets. Hall's lack of productivity of late has been in some part tied to the poor play of quarterback Justin Fields, who struggled to move the offense in both of the past two weeks and appeared to be at risk of losing his starting job heading into Week 8. At least for one more game, however, Fields will retain the starting role for New York after Tyrod Taylor (knee) was ruled out in advance of Sunday's contest.

Jets' Breece Hall: Slated to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Hall (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hall dealt with a knee injury throughout the week and was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. However, the fourth-year tailback was able to practice in full Friday, setting him up to take the field against the Bengals, barring a setback. He'll again be getting the ball handed and tossed to him by Justin Fields, who was announced as the team's starting quarterback for Week 8 on Saturday after some uncertainty about a change under center during the week. Veteran Tyrod Taylor (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8.
