Overview
- Coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday that Hall will practice this week and is “trending toward playing” in the Jets’ Sunday opener at Tennessee.
- Hall strained his groin during a non-contact training-camp play on Aug. 17, had an MRI showing a strain, and missed New York’s final two preseason games while on a conservative recovery plan.
- Media and team observers reported Hall was in full uniform for warmups and took part in early practice drills, a sign the team sees him on track barring any setbacks.
- Depth concerns remain because backups Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis are returning from recent knee surgeries, and edge rusher Joseph Ossai is being evaluated week to week after rupturing a plantar fascia in the preseason finale.
- Hall comes off his first 1,000-yard season and a three-year extension, so his availability will shape the Jets’ early game plan and affect fantasy value while the team finalizes other roster decisions such as the Week 1 kicker.
