Breece Hall (quad) will remain limited at Friday’s practice and is questionable for Sunday’s matchup with the Raiders.

It looks like Hall will almost certainly be on a limited snap count, even if he is able to return from a four-game absence on Sunday. Braelon Allen seems likely to shoulder the brunt of the backfield load once again for the Jets.

What the Experts Are Saying

• Our injury model gives Breece Hall a 56% chance to play this week.
• Week 8 expert consensus rankings have Hall ranked as the RB19.
• His injury is listed on the injury report as: Quad
• He was a Limited Participant on Wednesday, a Limited Participant on Thursday, and a Limited Participant on Friday.

Breece Hall could retake his commanding lead role this week, but I also could see Braelon Allen mixing in more, and this backfield being more of a committee. Allen was so good while Hall was out it might be tough for Aaron Glenn to put that genie back in the backup bottle. In Weeks 1-2, Hall had a 61.7% snap rate while averaging 22.5 touches and 104.8 total yards. Hall hasn’t been amazing on a per-touch basis this season with only 1.49 yards after contact per attempt and a 14% missed tackle rate. I’m sure those numbers won’t look better this week with Hall coming off an injury, but I could be wrong. The Raiders could also help improve those efficiency numbers. Their run defense has been horrible over their last five games, allowing the third-highest explosive run rate, the highest rushing success rate, the highest yards before contact per attempt, and the third-highest missed tackle rate.
