Jets RB Breece Hall Out 2-3 Weeks, Set for Opener

Breece Hall's groin strain: what the Jets said

Jets coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Tuesday that starting running back Breece Hall is expected to miss two to three weeks with a groin strain. The key detail for planning purposes: Glenn said Hall should be "ready for the regular season," meaning the timeline lands squarely in the preseason and points toward availability for the opener.

The survivor-pick angle

A groin strain that costs a couple of preseason weeks isn't the kind of news that should reshape your Week 1 board. If Hall is trending toward being ready for the opener, the Jets' backfield plan stays largely intact by the time real games count. Where you'd want to stay alert is on the timeline itself — soft-tissue injuries can linger, and "two to three weeks" can quietly stretch. Keep an eye on whether he practices in full before Week 1 rather than banking on the optimistic read.

For survivor purposes, that means treat any early Jets pick the way you'd treat any team relying on a back working back from a strain: fine to consider if the matchup is right, but confirm his game-status designation before you lock it in. If you're still setting up your season, now's the time to start a free survivor pool and line up your early-week plan, and it's worth reviewing how survivor pools work so a late scratch doesn't cost you your entry.
