Jets Running Back Braelon Allen Seeking Second Opinion on ‘Pretty Serious’ Knee Injury
Braelon Allen suffered an MCL sprain on a kickoff return and will likely miss at least four games, impacting the Jets' depth at running back, sources say.
- Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported Braelon Allen, New York Jets running back, suffered an MCL sprain likely to land him on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games.
- Returning a kickoff in the second quarter, Braelon Allen was hit on his knee and struggled to put weight on his left leg, forcing him out for the rest of Monday’s 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
- This season, Allen has 76 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries as the Jets' third-leading rusher; the 21-year-old 2024 fourth-round pick totaled 334 yards and two TDs as a rookie.
- Aaron Glenn said Allen's knee is 'pretty serious' and the team will seek a second opinion, while Isaiah Davis will serve as Breece Hall’s primary backup on Sunday.
- Allen's injury robs New York Jets of its most physical carrier just as the run-first offense leans on the ground game; the 0-4 backfield thinness could boost Isaiah Davis's role ahead of Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos.
