Breece Hall dealing with strained groin after going down with a non-contact injury at Jets practice

The New York Jets appear to have avoided the worst-case scenario after running back Breece Hall was forced to leave practice early Monday. Hall was able to walk off the field slowly after going down with a non-contact injury during a catch and run.

While non-contact injuries are always concerning, it sounds like Hall avoided a season-ending issue. The running back is dealing with a strained groin, one that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn does not consider a “big deal.”

Despite that, the team will still send Hall for further evaluation. It likely wants to take every precaution possible after handing Hall a three-year, $45.75 million deal in May.

Hall, 25, is once again expected to be a focal point of the Jets’ offense next season. After being selected by the team in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Hall got off to a tremendous start, rushing for 463 yards in seven games, before a torn ACL and meniscus cut his rookie season short.

Hall returned to action the following year, where he rushed for 994 yards in 17 games. After a modest 846-yard performance in 2024, Hall turned in his best season yet in 2025. Appearing in 16 games, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards and scored four touchdowns for an otherwise miserable Jets offense.

While Hall hasn’t produced like an elite player just yet, he’s consistently played for bad offenses as the Jets try to find their future quarterback. Since Hall was drafted, the Jets have ranked 29th, 29th, 24th and 29th in points scored over his first four seasons.

The team attempted to bring stability to quarterback in the offseason, trading for veteran Geno Smith. While Smith does have two Pro Bowl appearances in his past, he led the NFL with 17 interceptions last season despite playing in 15 games.

Because of that, Hall could once again face stacked boxes in 2026 once he gets healthy. Given his importance to the Jets’ offense, the team will hope Hall doesn’t have to miss much time after a potentially scary situation Monday.

Barring a significant update following his evaluation, it appears Hall should be back on the field before long.
