Story summary

Breece Hall, Jets' star running back, is out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears due to a quad injury. The Jets are already dealing with several other key player injuries, including Dylan Parham (knee) and others. With Hall sidelined, backup runners Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will take on increased roles. This comes as the team struggles after back-to-back losses and a poor rushing game performance in recent weeks. The Jets face significant challenges as they look to avoid their third consecutive loss in Chicago.

🔮 tRY IT NOWLook, if you had told a Jets fan in August that the team would lose by three points to the Packers in overtime and seven points to the Lions in a game they could have won in the fourth quarter, they probably would have signed up for that.

“There are some positives that came out of this, and sometimes everybody just focuses on the negative part of it,” Glenn said, “but our deal is we’re going to make sure we try to continue to improve on that and hopefully from the outside our fans will see that and again, we’ll just look at the next week and we’re just trying to go 1-0 each week and that’s the thing that we’re focused on and that’s the only thing I want our fans to focus on.
