Hall (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins.
Early Sunday reports indicated Hall was unlikely to play, and a fourth straight absence for the star running back is now official. With Hall sidelined again Sunday, Braelon Allen, who's averaged 18.3 carries, 84.3 rushing yards, 1.7 receptions and 11.3 receiving yards over the past three games while serving in the lead role, will once again helm the Jets' ground attack. Meanwhile, Hall will target a return to action in a Week 8 home matchup against the Raiders next Sunday.

Jets' Breece Hall: Not likely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) is unlikely to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hall has missed the past three contests due to a quadriceps injury and seems poised to miss a fourth, but Rapoport reported that the running back may work out pregame to see if a return to action is possible. If Hall remains sidelined Sunday, Braelon Allen again will pace the Jets backfield, with Isaiah Davis on hand for RB reps that linger.

Jets' Breece Hall: Listed questionable for Week 7
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Hall appears to have a chance to return after missing the Jets' previous three games with the quadriceps issue, but he did just return to practice Thursday, so his status appears to genuinely be up in the air. If Hall isn't cleared to play, Braelon Allen would make another start in the backfield and handle the lion's share of the opportunities in a beautiful matchup against Miami's bad run defense.

Jets' Breece Hall: Officially limited Thursday
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Hall logged his first practice participation of any kind since a second-half exit against the Lions back in Week 3. He moved well in his return to practice, per Brian Costello of the New York Post, though Costello also notes that Hall went to the rehab area after individual drills rather than taking part in teams drills. Hall will likely need to log a full practice Friday to avoid a questionable designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Braelon Allen has enjoyed a near-monopoly on backfield touches for the Jets while Hall has been sidelined.

Jets' Breece Hall: Taking part in team stretch
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) was stretching with the rest of the team at the beginning of Thursday's practice, Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reports.
Hall is present for the start of Thursday's practice and looks ready to practice in at least some capacity for the first time since he injured his quadriceps during the Jets' Week 3 loss to Detroit. Braelon Allen has filled in capably while starting the past three games in Hall's absence. If Hall, who didn't practice Wednesday, ultimately gets the green light to face Miami on Sunday, he and Allen would likely both see involvement against the winless Dolphins. Prior to getting hurt, Hall had been receiving the majority of touches over Allen.

Jets' Breece Hall: Not practicing, but could play Week 7
Rotowire
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Hall (quadriceps) won't practice Wednesday but hasn't been ruled out from playing Sunday versus the Dolphins, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
At the beginning of each of the previous three weeks, Glenn had classified Hall as being "week-to-week" in his recovery from a right quad issue, but the coach didn't apply that same label to the running back to begin Week 7 prep. Though Hall isn't yet ready to practice after missing the Jets' previous three games, he could be able to get back on the field in some capacity Thursday and/or Friday, which would leave the door open for him to suit up Sunday. Whenever Hall returns, he'll reclaim starting duties out of the backfield, though Glenn acknowledged that Braelon Allen is "going to get touches, too" after impressing while filling in for Hall over the past three contests, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

Jets' Breece Hall: Works off to the side Thursday
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) is working on a side field with trainers at Thursday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Hall is expected to go down as a non-participant in practice once again Thursday since he isn't taking part in individual or team drills, but he's at least showing some incremental signs of progress in his recovery from a quadriceps injury he sustained during the Jets' Week 3 loss to the Lions. He has missed the team's last two games, with Braelon Allen stepping into the lead role at running back. Allen is expected to continue working as the top backfield option for the Jets against the Patriots on Sunday, barring an unexpectedly fast recovery from Hall.

Jets' Breece Hall: Not practicing, still week-to-week
Rotowire
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Hall (quadriceps) won't practice Wednesday and remains week-to-week, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Hall hasn't practiced in any fashion since sustaining a right quad injury in the Jets' Week 3 loss to the Lions. With Glenn still classifying him as week-to-week, Hall looks to be trending toward missing a third consecutive game Sunday at New England. Hall's expected absence should once again clear the way for Braelon Allen to handle a lead role out of the backfield.

Jets' Breece Hall: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
With Hall set to miss another contest, Braelon Allen is positioned to continue handling the lead role in the Jets' backfield after he logged 32 of 34 offensive snaps in Hall's absence last Sunday against the Bears. Hall remains week-to-week, and his next chance to play will be Week 6 against the Patriots.

Jets' Breece Hall: Remains absent Thursday
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) wasn't present for warmups at the start of Thursday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Hall's continued absence isn't surprising after head coach Aaron Glenn recently described the running back as week-to-week. If Hall sits as expected Sunday against the Browns, Braelon Allen would be poised to take on another heavy workload after accounting for all 16 touches by Jets running backs in the Week 4 loss to Chicago.

Jets' Breece Hall: Sits out practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday.
Hall's continued absence from practice comes as little surprise after head coach Aaron Glenn said prior to Wednesday's session that the running back is week-to-week. With Hall looking likely to miss a second straight game Sunday versus the Browns, Braelon Allen should be in store for another turn as the Jets' lead back.

Jets' Breece Hall: Remains week-to-week
Rotowire
Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Hall (quadriceps) remains week-to-week, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Hall seems certain to miss at least one more game with his quad injury. After Braelon Allen played 32 of 34 offensive snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Bears, he should once again be expected to handle an every-down, bellcow role in Sunday's home date with the Browns. Allen is a locked-in fantasy RB2 with RB1 upside.

Jets' Breece Hall: Ruled out for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's game at Chicago, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
Hall is considered week-to-week and hasn't practiced since making an early exit from last week's loss at Detroit. Braelon Allen will fill in as the Jets' lead back this Sunday, with Isaiah Davis also expected to have a role.

Jets' Breece Hall: Remains sidelined by quad injury
Rotowire
Hall (quadriceps) didn't practice Thursday.
Hall is considered week-to-week with what is now being deemed a quadriceps injury. The injury to his upper leg, which Hall sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Lions, was previously being described as a thigh injury. Either way, the Jets' starting running back hasn't been able to practice and is unlikely to play against the Bears on Sunday, paving the way for Braelon Allen to take on a larger workload, with change-of-pace work possibly available for Isaiah Davis.

Jets' Breece Hall: Not practicing, deemed week-to-week
Rotowire
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Hall (thigh) won't practice Wednesday and confirmed the running back is being viewed as week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday that an MRI on the quad injury Hall sustained in Sunday's loss to the Lions wasn't as significant as the Jets had feared, the running back appears likely to miss at least one game. Unless Hall is able to fit in some practice activity Thursday or Friday, the Jets will likely officially rule him out ahead of Sunday's contest in Chicago. Hall's expected absence would clear the way for Braelon Allen to serve as the Jets' lead option on the ground, while Isaiah Davis would likely be in store for added work in a change-of-pace role.

Jets' Breece Hall: Viewed as week-to-week after MRI
Rotowire
Hall is considered week-to-week after an MRI on Monday revealed that his thigh injury isn't significant as feared, Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn shed more light on the severity of Hall's injury when he speaks to the media Wednesday, but the running back seemingly avoided any sort of a major damage to his thigh that would result in an extended stint on injured reserve. However, with Hall being classified as week-to-week, he may be facing an uphill battle to make it back for the Jets' next game Sunday at Chicago. After Hall exited in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions, Braelon Allen handled six touches over the Jets' final two possessions. Allen and Isaiah Davis would both be in store for expanded roles if Hall ends up missing any time.

Jets' Breece Hall: Expected to avoid snap count
Rotowire
Hall (groin) could handle a full workload in Sunday's season opener against the Titans, as Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Thursday that "unless [head coach Aaron Glenn] and the training staff give us a rep count, we just go play ball," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall initially received a recovery timetable of 2-to-3 weeks after sustaining a groin strain Aug. 17. Just over three weeks has passed since that date, and Hall practiced without limitations Wednesday, suggesting he has made a full recovery. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, the latter of whom has been cleared to return from a knee injury sustained during training camp, could factor into the game plan as change-of-pace options, but Hall is expected to lead the Jets backfield and handle his normal workload against the Titans in Week 1.

The star running back was a full-go to begin the practice week as Sunday's season opener looms.

Jets' Breece Hall: Involved in Tuesday's practice
Rotowire
Hall (groin) was seen taking part in positional drills during Tuesday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
The Jets won't release their first injury report of the season until Wednesday, but Hall's activity at Tuesday's session offers hope that he might be listed as a full participant. Though Hall had been limited at practice over the past three weeks while nursing a minor right groin strain, the expectation is that he'll be ready to handle a lead role in the backfield during Sunday's season opener versus the Titans.
