The injury occurred early in the fourth quarter when Hall was tackled out of bounds. The running back was seen clutching his right thigh while rolling on the turf in visible discomfort. While the team initially classified the issue as a thigh injury during the game, subsequent medical evaluations have provided more clarity on his status.
MRI results offer positive outlook for recovery
Following the conclusion of the contest, Hall underwent an MRI to determine the extent of the damage. Sources indicate that the scan revealed the injury is not as significant as the team initially feared, providing a sense of relief for the organization. Despite the positive news regarding the severity, the week-to-week designation suggests that Hall will likely miss upcoming practice sessions and potentially game time while he rehabilitates.
Before being forced from the field, Hall recorded 32 rushing yards on 13 carries and contributed 23 yards on three receptions. His performance on Sunday brought his season totals to 163 rushing yards and 102 receiving yards across three appearances, including one rushing touchdown. This season marks Hall's fifth with the Jets, following a significant offseason in which he signed a three-year, $43.5 million contract extension. The deal was finalized after the franchise utilized the tag to prevent him from entering unrestricted free agency.
