Breece Hall may have to be patient before returning to the field with the New York Jets.
The star running back is currently dealing with a quadriceps injury and will not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Hall's status will be reevaluated on a weekly basis. As a result, it appears highly uncertain whether he will play in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
Hall was injured in the fourth quarter of the 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was tackled after stepping out of bounds. His performance was limited to 32 yards on 13 carries.
In his absence, the Jets are expected to rely more heavily on Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis in the backfield. This situation represents a significant change for New York, as Hall had gotten off to an excellent start this season. Notably, he totaled 102 rushing yards and scored a touchdown in the season opener against the Tennessee Titans. A week later, he added 29 yards against the Green Bay Packers.
Several Jets Players Under Close Scrutiny
Several other players are on the Jets' injury report. Guard Dylan Parham, with a knee injury; wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, with a finger injury; tight end Mason Taylor, with a thumb injury; and linebacker Kiko Mauigoa, with a quadriceps injury, are not expected to practice on Wednesday. Their conditions will be monitored daily.
The news is more encouraging, however, regarding Minkah Fitzpatrick. The safety is expected to participate in limited practice on Wednesday and could be available on Sunday. He has not played since suffering a groin injury in the season opener. Andre Cisco has filled in for him over the past two weeks.
Kenyon Sadiq, Jeremy Ruckert, and Kene Nwangwu are also expected to see limited action. Aaron Glenn expressed optimism about the chances of these three players participating in the next game.
