Jets Eye Breece Hall’s Return Ahead of Week 7

The New York Jets entered Week 7 with a 2-4 record, while division rival Miami sits winless at 0-5. Starting running back Breece Hall suffered a quadriceps/groin injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 3 loss to Detroit. He missed the subsequent three games, returning only to the practice field on Thursday, where he wore his helmet and stretched with teammates. The team indicated that Hall would be listed as limited on the practice report on October 22, 2026. Hall’s own Instagram post on Monday read simply “Soon,” hinting at an imminent comeback.

Before his injury, Hall accumulated 163 rushing yards and one touchdown on 51 carries (3.2 yards per carry) and added 102 receiving yards on 10 catches. In his absence, backup Braelon Allen has shouldered the load, logging 314 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 74 carries (4.2 yards per carry) through six games, including a 116-yard effort in Week 5 and 78 yards on 17 carries against New England last week. Allen’s continued involvement keeps the Jets’ ground game viable, but Hall’s dual-threat ability remains unmatched.

Head coach Aaron Glenn reiterated that Hall remains the starter and is expected to reclaim the role once cleared, while Allen will continue receiving touches. Glenn’s comments, made earlier in the week, emphasized the coaching staff’s confidence in Hall’s recovery trajectory and the importance of his explosive play for the upcoming matchup against Miami at MetLife Stadium.

These remarks underscore the Jets’ intent to reintegrate Hall into the offensive scheme as soon as his health permits.
