The New York Jets are bracing for MRI results Monday to confirm their fears that rookie running back Breece Hall has suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
Jets coach Robert Saleh said after Sunday’s game that “the initial diagnosis was not good.” The Jets defeated the Denver Broncos 16-9 to improve to 5-2.
However, Hall left in the second quarter after landing awkwardly while getting tackled. He had already scored on a 62-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. He finished with 72 yards rushing before leaving.
Hall took to social media postgame but didn’t discuss his injury.
“Resilient,” he wrote. “Through all the trials and tribulations JETS WIN!!!!”
Jets right tackle Alijah Vera-Tucker (elbow) and wide receiver Corey Davis (knee) also left Sunday’s game with injuries. Both are also getting MRIs on Monday.
Hall started the past two games for the Jets. His 681 yards from scrimmage are the fourth most ever by a Jets player over the first seven games of the season, per ESPN. He has five touchdowns on the season, four rushing.
Michael Carter, who started the first five games this season, rushed 13 times for 29 yards against the Broncos. He has 228 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the season. He led the Jets in rushing in 2021.
Ty Johnson is the team’s third running back on the roster.
