The New York Jets’ Breece Hall is coming off a season in which he registered his best ever outing for the side. One of the Jets’ best offensive players, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns and had 36 catches for 350 yards with one TD in 2025. Earlier on Monday, as the veteran running back practiced at training camp, he reportedly suffered an injury. Reports claim he went down “untouched” while running after a catch. Speculations claim Hall might have suffered a groin injury while colliding against the slick grass from rain in the area. Meanwhile, head coach Aaron Glenn has confirmed the injury while providing an additional update about its status. Jets’ Head Coach Aaron Glenn Provide Major Update About Breece Hall’s Condition NFL insider Ari Meirov shared the news via his X handle, in line with other reports about Hall. Fortunately, however, Glenn has clarified that the injury may be a minor situation that bears no cause for alarm. #Jets RB Breece Hall left practice today with trainers after suffering an apparent injury to his midsection. pic.twitter.com/iehSWDtPvb — Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) August 17, 2026 The depth chart shows who the backup running back is for Hall, who could stand in while he recovers. Braelon Allen comes next, ahead of Isaiah Davis, who was a fourth-round pick in 2024 with 110 carries for 410 yards in 21 games played for the Jets. Usually, recovery from a mild groin strain in NFL running backs takes 1 to 2 weeks. A moderate strain takes 3 to 6 weeks, while a severe tear or sports hernia could take 3 to 4 months or more. Regarding the 25-year-old’s injury, we can only determine the severity after imaging tests. Till then, all eyes turn to Allen, the side’s RB2, who’s showing enough readiness to take on Hall’s place when necessary. Hall was drafted by the Jets in the 2022 NFL Draft as their second-round, 36th overall, pick. In July 2022, he signed a four-year, $9 million contract with the franchise. In March this year, he was offered a one-year, $14 million franchise tag, only days before the new league year began. Reports claim further extension talks may have guided the organization to hand him a three-year, $43.5 million contract extension with the Jets in May. The contract made him one of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL behind superstars in the Falcons’ Bijan Robinson and the Lions’ Jahmyr Gibbs. Perhaps as a testament to how much he deserves the deal, Hall recorded his first 1,000+ yard rushing season after setting career highs in yards (1,065) to round up his best-ever season on the ground in 2025. Meanwhile, Hall was not the only Jets offensive weapon not practicing on Monday. No. 1 wide receiver Garrett Wilson missed practice due to an illness. For a team that averaged only 17.6 points per game last season, the fourth-fewest mark in the entire league, the Jets will require Hall to stay healthy and keep being one of the focal points of the offense if they must succeed in 2026.
