The New York Jets may be staring at another injury problem after Breece Hall left Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions with a thigh injury, and his own words didn’t do much to calm the nerves.
Hall was hurt late in the game and did not return. Afterward, he told reporters in the visitors’ locker room at Ford Field, with his hood up, that he wasn’t sure what the next step would be.
"I don't know yet. I felt something when I was running, and then got tackled and planted, and then felt something else, so we'll see."
Asked whether he would get imaging on Monday morning, Hall said he didn’t know.
The injury came during a rough afternoon that only got messier for New York. The Jets entered Week 3 already shorthanded, missing safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive lineman David Onyemata, and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. During the game, they also lost Dylan Parham to a knee injury; he was quickly ruled out and carted to the locker room.
Hall’s exit left Braelon Allen as the Jets’ lead back to finish the game. Before leaving, Hall had 13 carries for 32 yards, good for 2.5 yards per attempt, after building on his Week 2 performance against the Green Bay Packers.
New York’s running game has struggled over its last two games, and the possibility of losing Hall for any stretch would make that problem even harder to solve.
If Hall is sidelined, the workload likely shifts to Allen and Isaiah Davis. Allen has logged 19 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown through three games, but it’s still unclear whether he’s ready for a full-time role. Davis has not played an offensive snap for the Jets in 2026, though he could be the most likely Hall replacement because of his somewhat similar skill set.

Dan Campbell Just Gave Jets Fans A Reason To Reconsider Aaron Glenn
Aaron Glenns first season has come with plenty of scrutiny, especially when late-game decisions and clock management have left Jets fans grumbling. But after a tight loss to the Lions, Dan Campbell offered a different perspective on the coachs work, praising Glenn publicly and crediting him for how hard the Jets made the game. For a team that has spent much of the year fighting through injuries and a difficult schedule, it was another sign that the performance level has been trending in a better direction even when the results have not always followed.
Campbells endorsement carries some weight because of his history with Glenn, and it arrives at a time when the Jets are still sorting out what their present and future should look like under him. There has been visible progress from a roster that leaned on contributions from Geno Smith, Kenyon Sadiq and Garrett Wilson to stay competitive against a strong opponent, even if the final score again left room for frustration. The broader question now is whether the improvement around Glenn is enough to quiet the criticism, or whether the conversation around him will keep coming back to the same lingering issues.

Aaron Glenn Just Gave Jets Fans Their Most Encouraging Sign Yet
The Jets left Detroit with a loss, but there were clear signs of a team starting to look more organized under Aaron Glenn. Against a Lions squad that can overwhelm opponents, New York stayed competitive throughout a 31-24 defeat in Week 3, and the little details were better too. Situational awareness and clock management, both areas that have hurt this group before, were noticeably sharper even as the roster dealt with injuries and a talent gap.
Geno Smiths afternoon also offered a real reason for optimism. He completed 31 of 37 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns, giving the Jets the kind of efficient, productive quarterback play that can keep them in games if the rest of the operation continues to clean itself up. For a team still trying to establish Glenns standard, the result was disappointing, but the process looked more like progress than setback. [Read more 🡒]
Jets Have A Bigger Olu Fashanu Question Than Fans Wanted
Olu Fashanus early-season work at left tackle has become one of the more important subplots around the Jets, and not just because the pass protection has been uneven. Through the first stretch of the 2026 season, Fashanu has already given up multiple pressures and sacks, a rough opening that echoes the slow start he had last year. For a team still trying to stabilize its offense, the left edge is not the place where uncertainty feels especially comfortable.
What makes the situation more pressing is the calendar. The Jets will have to make a fifth-year option decision on Fashanu this offseason, which gives his 2026 performance added weight beyond the usual week-to-week grading. There is still room for his play to trend upward, and the team will be betting on that kind of growth, but the margin for a prolonged struggle is thinner now than it was when the season began.
