Just as the New York Jets appeared to be getting into a groove, they lost not one but two starters from their offense, including running back Breece Hall.
“Breece Hall has been ruled OUT with a thigh injury,” the Jets announced in a post on X on September 27, an announcement that followed another that ruled starting left guard Dylan Parham out.
Hall did not have much to offer after the game, a 31-24 Jets loss.
“I don’t know (the severity) yet,” Hall said per ESPN’s Rich Cimini. “I felt something when I was running and then got tackled and planted and then felt something else so we’ll see.”
Breece Hall talks about the Jets’ fight today in spite of their loss:
“Hard to tell what exactly is injured,” social media personality and sports doctor Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT posted on X.
“Awkwardly tackled and twisted. Not seeing anything that significantly stands out. “
Another social media personality and sports doctor, Jesse Morse, echoed those sentiments. Morse said in his post on X, “I watched the play several times didn’t look overly concerning maybe a quad bruise , possible right knee.”
After the update, Mueller posted, “That was quick. Hopefully it’s not a significant quad tear and just a grade 1 or 2 strain.”
Jets Lose Breece Hall as Injury Bug Ravages Offense
The Jets signed Hall to a three-year, $43.5 million contract extension this offseason. He is just the latest playmaker the offense has seen go down with an injury.
In addition to Parham, they are also without receivers Adonai Mitchell, Arian Smith, Omar Cooper Jr., and Tim Patrick and tight end Mason Taylor. Their defense has also been hit with the injury bug.
Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is out for this game, while defensive tackle David Onyemata is on IR.
Despite the injuries, including Hall and Parham in this game, quarterback Geno Smith led the Jets offense on back-to-back touchdown drives. They tied the game at 24-all.
Getting the win would not have healed their injured teammates. It would have done a lot to galvanize the group. It was riding high following Week 1. They have been met with some adversity in the time that has since passed.
They were coming off a come-from-ahead loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.
