Story summary

The New York Jets will face the Chicago Bears in Week 4 without several key players due to injuries. RB Breece Hall (quad) is out, turning the starting role over to Braelon Allen, who has averaged just 3.7 yards per carry on 129 career attempts. The Jets are also missing WR Adonai Mitchell (finger), OL Dylan Parham (knee), TE Mason Taylor (thumb), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad). Head coach Aaron Glenn, facing former colleague Ben Johnson from their time with the Detroit Lions, aims to end a two-game losing streak. The Jets' offensive line must protect QB Geno Smith effectively if they hope for an upset victory in Chicago.
