New York Jets running back Breece Hall is expected to be on the field for the team's season opener on September 13, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. The update comes after Hall suffered a groin strain during practice on Monday.
Glenn stated on Tuesday that Hall's recovery is projected to take two to three weeks, making him available for Week 1. This news provides a significant relief for the Jets organization and its fans.
Hall, 25, was a key player for the Jets last season, recording his first 1,000-yard rushing season and scoring four touchdowns. He was rewarded with a three-year contract extension worth $43.5 million during the offseason. His average annual salary of $14.5 million places him among the top-paid running backs in the NFL.
