Jets’ Breece Hall Helped Off Field, Out With Knee Injury vs. Broncos

Jets running back Breece Hall exited Sunday’s road win over the Broncos early after suffering a knee injury in the second quarter.

The standout rookie sustained the injury as he was being tackled by Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II and linebacker Jonas Griffith. Hall was helped off the field by New York’s training staff and carted to the locker room shortly thereafter.

New York subsequently ruled Hall out of the contest a few minutes later. The Jets went on to win the contest, 16–9. 

After the game, Jets coach Robert Saleh indicated to reporters the team fears Hall may have torn his ACL before noting he is scheduled to undergo further testing.

“Breece doesn’t look good, the initial diagnosis is not good. We’ll see tomorrow,” Saleh said.

Prior to exiting the matchup, Hall was in the midst of putting together another impressive outing for the 5–2 Jets. The 21-year-old second-round pick compiled four carries for 72 yards, 62 of which came on a blazing run to the endzone to give the Jets an early 7–0 lead.

According to Next Gen Stats, Hall’s dazzling run clocked in at 21.87 mph–the fastest rush by a ball carrier on the season.

As the Jets wait to determine the extent of Hall’s injury, the looming possibility of losing Iowa product for the rest of the season would be a devastating blow to both the promising back and a Jets squad that has jumped out to a hot start.

Entering Week 7, Hall recorded 76 carries for 391 yards and three touchdowns and 19 receptions for 218 yards and one score.
