News: 1 day agoHall (groin) could handle a full workload in Sunday's season opener against the Titans, as Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Thursday that "unless [head coach Aaron Glenn] and the training staff give us a rep count, we just go play ball," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Hall initially received a recovery timetable of 2-to-3 weeks after sustaining a groin strain Aug. 17. Just over three weeks has passed since that date, and Hall practiced without limitations Wednesday, suggesting he has made a full recovery. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, the latter of whom has been cleared to return from a knee injury sustained during training camp, could factor into the game plan as change-of-pace options, but Hall is expected to lead the Jets backfield and handle his normal workload against the Titans in Week 1.

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.
