The Jets are placing the franchise tag on RB Breece Hall. The move doesn't really come as a surprise. Speculation for weeks has centered on the team using either the franchise or transition tag to keep Hall around. But the details here still look noteworthy. The tag guarantees a $14.293 million one-year deal (once the player signs) if there's no long-term deal by mid-July.

The Jets have fired OC Tanner Engstrand, according to multiple reports. It's a late move for the Jets, whose season ended almost a month ago. "[HC] Aaron Glenn and Engstrand had multiple conversations about his role moving forward. Simply, they decided to move forward separately," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said. New York ranked 29th in both points and total yards in 2025, although it's tough to pin too much blame on Engstrand considering the state of the roster. The new OC will inherit an offense with a big question mark at QB, a potentially Breece Hall-less backfield, and nothing at WR behind Garrett Wilson.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bills. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. RB Isaiah Davis (concussion) has been ruled out, so Hall could pick up some extra passing-down work if he plays on Sunday. We’ll look for updates on his status but won’t get New York’s inactives until a little before 3 pm ET.

Jets RBs Breece Hall (knee) and Isaiah Davis (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. That leaves Davis unlikely to play vs. the Bills this weekend. We'll see about Hall. Khalil Herbert and Kene Nwangwu are the other RBs on New York's roster. RB Raheem Blackshear is on the practice squad.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt says Hall is dealing with "knee soreness." It sounds like there's still a good chance Hall is able to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend, but we'll keep you updated on his status. Hall's absence would leave RB Isaiah Davis in a high-volume role.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. He played through this injury last week and practiced all this week, including a full workout on Friday. Hall should be ready for his usual role on Sunday, but we’ll get New York’s inactives around 11:30 am ET. RB Isaiah Davis is the RB to stash in case Hall ends up out.

The Jets will place RB Braelon Allen (knee) on IR today, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Allen's knee injury is still being evaluated, per Cimini, and surgery remains on the table. "Too early to say if it's season-ending, though this appears to be more than just a 4-week return," Cimini adds.

Update: Allen is expected to miss 8-12 weeks, HC Aaron Glenn said Friday. That puts Allen out through at least Week 12. He can be dropped in all redraft leagues.

Jets RB Braelon Allen will "likely" land on IR with an MCL sprain suffered in Monday night's loss to the Dolphins, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Allen is expected to receive additional opinions," Rapoport adds. We'll see if those additional opinions bring any better news, but expect Allen to miss multiple weeks. That'll leave the Jets backfield to Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis. Davis should pick up extra work with Allen out but will still fall short of reliable fantasy value. He's worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues, though, as he's now just one injury away from a lead job. Hall becomes a borderline RB1 with Allen sidelined.

Jets RB Braelon Allen injured his left knee in the second quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Dolphins and was ruled out a short time later. That typically suggests a relatively serious injury, but we'll update Allen's status when we know more. His absence should boost RB Breece Hall's playing time. RB Isaiah Davis could also mix in a bit more on early downs.

Jets’ third-string RB Isaiah Davis hasn’t practiced in two weeks as he recovers from an ankle injury, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.

According to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt, Jets HC Aaron Glenn is counting on a very productive year from RB Breece Hall, particularly as a receiver. The Jets backfield has sparked debates in fantasy circles, with reports ranging from a potential committee to Hall being the clear lead.

Jets RB Breece Hall expects to be a big part of a run-heavy offense under new OC Tanner Engstrand. "I know Tanner loves to run the ball," Hall said. "For me, just getting ready for that. He also knows how I can be effective in the pass game. He and [HC Aaron Glenn] always tell me: Breece, you’re going to do everything. So for me it’s just getting ready to do everything. I have to be ready to be a three-down back.”

Jets RB Breece Hall disappointed fantasy managers in 2024, going from mid-Round 1 pick to just 17th among RBs in PPR points per game. Does a new coaching staff provide hope ... or should we simply lower our expectations for Hall?

Jets RB Braelon Allen is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars with a back injury. His absence leaves the backfield to Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis.

Update: Allen returned in the third quarter.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was listed as questionable but was a full-go in Friday’s practice. And there was optimism about his status throughout the weekend. We’d still be surprised if Hall handled his normal workload for a Jets team with nothing to play for. Remember that Hall tallied just 12 carries and one target playing through this knee injury back in Week 13. He checks in as a low-end RB2 in the Week 15 Rankings.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars on Sunday, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. "Looks good ... promising," interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said of Hall's Week 15 status on Friday. Hall did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, so it's safe to assume he's still not at 100%. We're frankly surprised that the Jets would play Hall in this meaningless game -- and would be even more surprised if he handles a big workload. Hall tallied just 12 carries and one target playing through this knee injury back in Week 13. Consider him no better than a risky RB2 in Week 15 fantasy lineups, despite the plus matchup. Hall's return knocks RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis out of consideration.

Update: Hall is listed as questionable but was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Jets interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that RB Breece Hall is "struggling a bit" with his knee injury. “Maybe it’s not improving as much as he’d like, at this point," Ulbrich added. "We’ll see how it goes this week.” We'll keep you posted on Hall's progress over the next few days, but fantasy owners should not be counting on him playing in a meaningless game vs. the Jaguars on Sunday. RBs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis split work almost right down the middle with Hall out last week.

The Jets are not planning to shut down RB Breece Hall (knee), ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's still unclear when Hall might be ready to return from what's been reported as hyperextension and MCL issues in his previously surgically repaired left knee. We'll track his practice participation this coming week, as well as what the Jets' backfield looks like with rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis today.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. He's dealing with a hyperextension and MCL issue in his left knee, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. That's the same knee in which Hall tore the ACL in October 2022. We haven't heard a timeline for Hall's return, but it's possible that the 3-9 Jets just shut him down for the season. He's worth keeping stashed on all fantasy rosters for now, but Hall owners should be prepping to be without him beyond just this week.
