Hall (knee) wasn't on the field for Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall is thus set to be listed as a non-participant on the Jets' second straight practice report, setting up Friday's session to be an important one with regard to determining the running back's availability for Sunday's game in Miami. On Wednesday, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich was optimistic about Hall's chances of playing Sunday, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, though that tone may have changed after the 23-year-old missed his second straight practice. If Hall can't play this weekend or is subject to a limited workload, more opportunities would open up for rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis out of the backfield.

Jets' Breece Hall: Coach optimistic, despite no practice
Rotowire
Hall (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, but interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich sounded optimistic about the running back's chances of playing Sunday against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Ulbrich may have been optimistic, but he also acknowledged that it's too early in the week to know if Hall and other injured players will play, per SNY.tv. And while Hall played through the knee injury after being listed as questionable last week, he finished with season-low 62 percent snap share and 12 touches in a 26-21 loss to Seattle. It's possible his workload disappoints again in Week 14 if he ends up playing, with rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis both looming as threats to take valuable snaps and touches away from a banged-up Hall.

Jets' Breece Hall: Just 12 touches in loss
Rotowire
Hall (knee) rushed 12 times for 60 yards and ran in a two-point conversion in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. He didn't catch his only target and fumbled twice, losing one.
After the Jets' PAT was blocked following their first touchdown, Hall ran in a two-point conversion to extend the lead to 14-0 after New York's second score. Hall tied his season low with just 12 touches, though, and he fumbled at the end of an 11-yard run in the third quarter. He was nursing a knee injury heading into the game, which likely explains why Hall ceded more touches than usual to backups Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, who combined for 59 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on six carries and five targets. If Hall manages to avoid the injury report as the Jets prepare to face the Dolphins in Week 14, that could portend a larger workload against a Miami defense that has been more vulnerable to the run than the pass.

Jets' Breece Hall: Cleared to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Hall (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
After tweaking his knee during the Jets' Week 11 loss to the Colts, Hall was still sore coming out of a Week 12 bye and sat out Wednesday's practice. Though the Wednesday absence initially seemed to put his availability for Sunday's game in peril, Hall made steady improvement throughout the week, as he upgraded to limited participation Thursday before putting in a full practice Friday. While Hall still carried a questionable designation into the weekend, now that he's been cleared to play, he should be expected to handle something close to a normal workload Sunday. Hall has earned no fewer than 14 touches in each of the Jets' last six games, averaging 5.0 yards per carry and 10.1 yards per reception while scoring three touchdowns over that stretch.

Jets' Breece Hall: Questionable but expected to play
Rotowire
Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks but is expected to play after being a full participant in Friday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Optimism over Hall's availability is supported by his ramp-up in activity level throughout the week, as Hall went from DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday before practicing without limitations Friday. Hall hurt his knee during the Jets' 28-27 loss to the Colts in Week 11, per Cimini, but the running back managed to play through the injury before getting a chance to heal up during the Week 12 bye.

Jets' Breece Hall: Returns to limited practice
Rotowire
Hall (knee) was deemed a limited practice participant Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Hall was a non-participant Wednesday, so his return to practice a day later, albeit in a limited fashion, is a positive sign regarding his status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the running back works fully to close the week, as well as his Week 13 game status.

Jets' Breece Hall: Set to miss practice with sore knee
Rotowire
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that Hall will sit out Wednesday's practice due to knee soreness, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
According to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Ulbrich said he's "still hopeful" that Hall will play Sunday against the Seahawks, but the Jets plan to take a wait-and-see approach with the star tailback. Hall tweaked his knee at one point during the Jets' Week 11 loss to the Colts, but he was able to check back into the contest. The 23-year-old seemingly developed soreness in the knee after the game, and even with a Week 12 bye to heal, Hall apparently isn't yet back to 100 percent. If Hall fails to progress in his recovery as hoped and ends up sitting out against Seattle, rookie Braelon Allen would be primed for a lead role out of the New York backfield.

Jets' Breece Hall: Scores twice in Week 11
Rotowire
Hall rushed 16 times for 78 yards and a touchdown while catching all seven of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.
Hall's two touchdowns came in the span of three offensive plays after a 78-play touchdown drought by the Jets offense. He did the hard part after a short dump-off to score a 29-yard receiving touchdown late in the first half, then made a nifty move to put the ball just inside the pylon while falling out of bounds to cap an 18-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. The Jets have underachieved at 3-8 heading into their Week 12 bye, but Hall's versatility out of the backfield allows him to stay heavily involved regardless of game script and will make him a strong fantasy play when the Jets return to action in Week 13 against the Seahawks.

Jets' Breece Hall: Another efficient rushing effort
Rotowire
Hall rushed 15 times for 74 yards and brought in two of four targets for 11 yards in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Hall saw his rushing opportunities stall somewhat with the Jets trying to overcome a deficit early in the second half, but he still finished with yet another impressive rushing performance. Hall has now averaged at least Thursday's 4.9 yards per carry in three of the past four games, a marked departure from his struggles with efficiency earlier in the season. Hall next takes aim at the Cardinals' vulnerable run defense in a Week 10 road matchup on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Jets' Breece Hall: Gets 16 carries in loss
Rotowire
Hall rushed 16 times for 80 yards while catching one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Hall's 17 touches marked his third-lowest total of the season, as he didn't make much of a mark as a pass catcher while ceding a larger share of carries than usual to Braelon Allen (12 carries for 32 yards and a touchdown). Allen now has two rushing scores this season to Hall's three, and the Jets' inability to spend extended periods with the lead coupled to competition for valuable goal-line touches have cut into Hall's fantasy value. Hall and the Jets will try to end a five-game losing streak Thursday against the Texans.

Jets' Breece Hall: Tops 100 receiving yards in loss
Rotowire
Hall rushed 12 times for 38 yards and a touchdown while catching six of nine targets for 103 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
Hall scored a 13-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter and came three yards shy of another score on a 57-yard catch in the second quarter. That long reception helped Hall finish as the surprising team leader in receiving yards, overshadowing Garrett Wilson (61) and Jets debutant Davante Adams (30), who both tied Hall for the team lead in targets. Adams' gravity could help free up more space for Hall as defenses devote more resources to defending the wide receiver position, but the offensive line has struggled to open up running lanes all season. Hall's averaging a modest 3.7 yards per carry heading into a Week 8 road game against the Patriots.

Jets' Breece Hall: New coach committed to run
Rotowire
Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich is committed to building a run-first offense, which could result in more touches for Hall and Braelon Allen, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Hall hasn't been able to get untracked most of this season, so any positive talk will be welcomed but also met with skepticism until the Jets play their first game under Ulbrich on Monday against the Bills. Ulbrich will turn to Jets passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Todd Downing to call plays for the offense after offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was stripped of that responsibility in Ulbrich's first major decision since succeeding Robert Saleh as head coach.

Jets' Breece Hall: Scripted out of loss
Rotowire
Hall rushed the ball nine times for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. He added three catches on four targets for 14 yards.
The Jets fell behind early in the contest, limiting Hall to single-digit carries for the second consecutive week. He had poor overall efficiency, though he did show some burst with 10 and seven-yard gains on separate carries. While it was a second straight frustrating performance, Hall still clearly held the lead-back role for New York, as he had 12 total touches compared to six for Braelon Allen.

Jets' Breece Hall: Bottled up in Week 4 loss
Rotowire
Hall rushed 10 times for four yards while catching two of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.
Hall was stuffed on a pair of carries from the one-yard line to end the first quarter, and he finished the quarter with minus-3 yards on seven carries. He was outplayed by Braelon Allen (eight carries for 34 yards) thereafter as the Jets failed to score a touchdown while battling inclement weather in this disappointing loss. Hall's averaging just 3.1 yards per carry on his 56 attempts compared to Allen's 4.8 YPC on 27 carries heading into a Week 5 matchup with the Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Jets' Breece Hall: Top DFS Play
Rotowire
The Braelon Allen usage has been frustrating, but Hall is still averaging more than 20 touches per game and more than 20 Fantasy points per game. He's my third-highest projected running back on the main slate, and with a favorable game script, he may be the number one back when all is said and done. He's a great value in comparison to Barkley and Kamara this week.

Jets' Breece Hall: Productive all-around game Thursday
Rotowire
Hall rushed 16 times for 54 yards and a touchdown and secured four of five targets for 29 yards in the Jets' 24-3 win over the Patriots on Thursday night.
Hall was outproduced by rookie teammate Braelon Allen, who notably garnered 11 carries of his own and outgained Hall by one yard on the ground. However, of the two, it was Hall who found the end zone, recording a one-yard touchdown run just before the halfway point of the second quarter. The third-year pro also posted the second-most receptions on the Jets for the night, and Hall now has 16 catches (on 19 targets) through the first three games. He'll now prep for a favorable Week 4 home matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Jets' Breece Hall: TD, fumble in Week 1 loss
Rotowire
Hall rushed 16 times for 54 yards and a touchdown while catching five of six targets for 39 yards and losing a fumble in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.
Hall atoned for a fumble on the Jets' second possession with a three-yard touchdown run on the next drive. He failed to get in on a two-point conversion attempt in the third quarter after the first of Allen Lazard's two touchdown catches cut the deficit to 26-13. The Jets' makeover on the offensive line and the return of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was supposed to help open up more running lanes for Hall, but the jury's still out in that regard, as his unimpressive 3.4 yards per carry Monday can be chalked up to facing an elite 49ers defensive front. Hall got the first 21 touches among Jets running backs before rookie Braelon Allen got a pair on the team's final drive, so Hall should continue to be a three-down workhorse against the Titans in Week 2.

Jets' Breece Hall: Feeling good heading into season
Rotowire
Hall described himself as "better than ever" heading into his third NFL season, the Jets' official site reports.
Hall has been simulating star 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey in practice to help the Jets defense prepare for Monday's season opener in San Francisco. He's one of the few running backs with comparable versatility and explosiveness to McCaffrey, as Hall's 1,585 scrimmage yards in the 2023 season were second among NFL running backs behind McCaffrey's 2,023. Hall's impressive production came despite his workload being managed to begin the season as he worked his way back from a torn ACL suffered in October 2022, but he has no such physical limitations heading into the 2024 campaign.

Jets' Breece Hall: Not in line for preseason appearance
Rotowire
Hall and other starters aren't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The Jets have held most of their starters out for the entire preseason, hoping to stay as healthy as possible for a Week 1 game at San Francisco on Monday Night Football. It's a tough matchup to start the season, but Hall's combination of talent and expected workload is hard to match, making him a first-round pick and every-week starter in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

Jets' Breece Hall: Not suiting up Saturday
Rotowire
Hall isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game at Carolina, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
Hall is the only Jets running back not suiting up for the team's second exhibition, leaving Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis, Israel Abanikanda, Deon Jackson and Xazavian Valladay to handle the backfield Saturday. With one preseason contest to go for New York, it remains to be seen if Hall will get any reps prior to Week 1, but if he doesn't, he'll be looking to one-up the 1,585 yards from scrimmage and nine total touchdowns that he compiled in 17 regular-season games in 2023.
