Jets Sacks Leader Rookie David Bailey Inactive vs. Raiders with Groin Injury
Braelon Allen has two 100-yard starts and will fill in again as Breece Hall remains sidelined by a quadriceps injury, ESPN reported.
The New York Jets ruled out running back Breece Hall for his fifth consecutive game on Sunday due to a quadriceps injury, with Braelon Allen set to start against the Las Vegas Raiders at MetLife Stadium.
ESPN's Rich Cimini reported that a trade for Hall 'seems unlikely' because the team prefers keeping both backs. Hall sustained the quadriceps injury weeks ago against the Detroit Lions and has missed four games since.
Stepping into the starting role, Braelon Allen has rushed for 357 yards and one touchdown over the past four weeks, including two 100-yard games as a starter, averaging nearly 5 yards per carry.
Defensive injuries compound New York's challenges, with rookie edge rusher David Bailey inactive due to a groin injury, while defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat was placed on injured reserve on Saturday and edge rusher Joseph Ossai is inactive.
Las Vegas running back Ashton Jeanty challenged the Jets' defense this week, saying the unit has 'a couple guys out there that dont really want to tackle,' with the Raiders ranking 31st in rushing offense seeking to exploit these absences.
