Jets RB Breece Hall Faces Limited Playtime Amid Injury and Trade Speculation

Breece Hall, the New York Jets' running back, has been limited in recent practices due to a knee issue, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game against the Bengals. Despite the Jets' 0-7 start and offensive struggles, Hall has performed well individually, rushing for 448 yards and catching 19 passes this season, showcasing his potential as a versatile offensive threat. Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand explained that Hall's limited involvement in the passing game is a strategic decision based on weekly protection plans against strong pass rush teams. Hall is approaching free agency and has expressed interest in staying with the Jets, but trade rumors persist as teams eye him as a valuable asset, especially with the Jets' poor season record. Jets owner Woody Johnson avoided commenting on Hall's contract situation, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding Hall's future with the team. If Hall is sidelined, Isaiah Davis is expected to receive increased playing time in the backfield.
