“Jets RB Braelon Allen is slated to start again for the Jets, with Breece Hall still dealing with that quad injury. Allen has two 100-yard games as a starter, averaging nearly 5 yards per carry,” Rapoport said.
The fact that Allen is starting means that Hall will at be limited, at best, if he is active, so he should be left out of lineups if he does indeed suit up.
