News: 2 days agoHall (groin) is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 13, Jack Bell of the Jets' official site reports.

Spin: Hall is still nursing the groin injury he suffered 17 days ago, but he was originally given a return timetable of 2-to-3 weeks and was spotted running without any noticeable issues on a side field last week. Barring any setbacks, it sounds like Hall should be fine for the season opener. Whether he sees his normal workload is another question, as Braelon Allen has looked the part in practice and during limited preseason action, where he rushed seven times for 48 yards (6.9 YPC) and one touchdown.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hall received the franchise tag during the offseason and will return for his fifth season with the Jets. Having worked in the Jets' underwhelming offenses the past two years, Hall has struggled to finishes of 17th and 21st in fantasy points per game among RBs, which is a far cry from top-eight finishes during his first two seasons. Hall has remained busy, however, producing 266-plus touches each of the past three seasons. The 2022 second-round pick saw a dip in receiving work in 2025 (career-low 10% target share) but finished fourth in that category in both 2023 and 2024, so a rebound is possible with pocket QB Geno Smith now under center. Though the Jets' offense might continue to limit Hall's upside, the 25-year-old's combination of workload and talent positions him as a solid RB2.
