No practice, still bothered by knee
Published: 2024-12-11
Hall (knee) didn't participate in a walk-through practice Wednesday, with coach Jeff Ulbrich saying that the running back is "struggling a bit" with his injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The Jets reportedly don't want to shut Hall down for the season, but they don't sound especially optimistic about his chances to avoid a multi-game absence. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis had a 50/50 split of the backfield with Hall inactive for Sunday's 32-26 loss to Miami, both topping 50 percent snap share while getting 16 opportunities (11 carries and five targets for Allen vs. 10 carries and six targets for Davis). A similar approach is likely if Hall is out again this Sunday against the Jaguars.
Not slated to be shut down

The Jets aren't planning to shut down Hall (knee) for the season despite ruling him out for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against Miami, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
New York has little reason to put any of its players at risk of worsening an injury given the team's 3-9 record, but the organization doesn't appear to be viewing Hall's knee issue as something that should be season-ending. On Saturday, the third-year running back was downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but it's worth noting that earlier in the week interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich had expressed optimism about Hall's chances of suiting up. It's not yet clear what the likelihood is of Hall missing next Sunday's contest against Jacksonville, but while he is sidelined the Jets' backfield work will likely go primarily to Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis.
Will not play Sunday
Published: 2024-12-07
Hall (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Hall was listed as doubtful for the contest following Friday's final injury report, so this designation shouldn't be that surprising. As a result, Braelon Allen projects to be the team's workhorse, but the fourth-round rookie has struggled mightily with his limited opportunities as of late averaging under three yards a carry on 35 attempts dating back to Week 6. If Allen's lackluster production continues, don't be surprised if fifth-round rookie running back, Isaiah Davis, gets a crack at more opportunities. Davis scored his first career touchdown in the Week 13 loss to the Seahawks and was a proven workhorse in college tallying 4,548 rushing, 487 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns for South Dakota State.
Listed as doubtful for Week 14

Hall (knee) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall missed practice Wednesday and Thursday and spent Friday's session working in the rehab area, per Brian Costello of the New York Post. The third-year pro's knee injury appears set to keep him sidelined Week 14, though an official decision on Hall's status may not arrive until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will be the top candidates to lead New York's backfield until Hall is healthy enough to retake the field.
Sidelined for another practice

Hall (knee) wasn't on the field for Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall is thus set to be listed as a non-participant on the Jets' second straight practice report, setting up Friday's session to be an important one with regard to determining the running back's availability for Sunday's game in Miami. On Wednesday, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich was optimistic about Hall's chances of playing Sunday, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, though that tone may have changed after the 23-year-old missed his second straight practice. If Hall can't play this weekend or is subject to a limited workload, more opportunities would open up for rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis out of the backfield.
Coach optimistic despite no practice

Hall (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, but coach Jeff Ulbrich sounded optimistic about the running back's chances of playing Sunday against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Ulbrich may have been optimistic, but he also acknowledged that it's too early in the week to know if Hall and other injured players will play, per SNY Jets. And while Hall played through the knee injury after being listed as questionable last week, he finished with season-low 62 percent snap share and 12 touches in a 26-21 loss to Seattle on Sunday. It's possible his workload disappoints again in Week 14 if he ends up playing, with rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis both looming as threats to take valuable snaps/touches away from a banged-up Hall.
Just 12 touches in loss
Published: 2024-12-01
Hall (knee) rushed 12 times for 60 yards and ran in a two-point conversion in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. He didn't catch his only target and fumbled twice, losing one.
After the Jets' PAT was blocked following their first touchdown, Hall ran in a two-point conversion to extend the lead to 14-0 after New York's second score. Hall tied his season low with just 12 touches, though, and he fumbled at the end of an 11-yard run in the third quarter. He was nursing a knee injury heading into the game, which likely explains why Hall ceded more touches than usual to backups Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, who combined for 59 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on six carries and five targets. If Hall manages to avoid the injury report as the Jets prepare to face the Dolphins in Week 14, that could portend a larger workload against a Miami defense that has been more vulnerable to the run than the pass.
Cleared to suit up Sunday
Published: 2024-12-01
Hall (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
After tweaking his knee during the Jets' Week 11 loss to the Colts, Hall was still sore coming out of a Week 12 bye and sat out Wednesday's practice. Though the Wednesday absence initially seemed to put his availability for Sunday's game in peril, Hall made steady improvement throughout the week, as he upgraded to limited participation Thursday before putting in a full practice Friday. While Hall still carried a questionable designation into the weekend, now that he's been cleared to play, he should be expected to handle something close to a normal workload Sunday. Hall has earned no fewer than 14 touches in each of the Jets' last six games, averaging 5.0 yards per carry and 10.1 yards per reception while scoring three touchdowns over that stretch.
Questionable but expected to play

Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks but is expected to play after being a full participant in Friday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Optimism over Hall's availability is supported by his ramp-up in activity level throughout the week, as Hall went from DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday before practicing without limitations Friday. Hall hurt his knee during the Jets' 28-27 loss to the Colts in Week 11, per Cimini, but the running back managed to play through the injury before getting a chance to heal up during the Week 12 bye.
