Report: Jets star RB Breece Hall expected to play vs. Jaguars

New York Jets star running back Breece Hall is expected to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday after entering the weekend questionable due to a knee injury, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported overnight.

Hall missed New York’s Week 14, 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins due to his injury, which Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich described as related to an ACL tear Hall had surgery to repair in 2022.

Hall has rushed 164 times for 692 yards and four touchdowns and caught 46 passes for 401 yards and two scores in 12 games this season. His 1,093 yards from scrimmage rank No. 16 in the NFL this year.

The Jets previously ruled backup running back Kene Nwangwu and cornerbacks, starter D.J. Reed and backup Brandin Echols, out against the Jaguars.

Jacksonville only ruled starting tight end Evan Engram out against New York on its Friday injury report. Engram has since been placed on the injured reserve with a labrum injury that will require surgery.
