The Jets have ruled out running back Breece Hall (quad) and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, the team announced.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Jets have ruled out RB Breece Hall (quad) and WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns.
Hall has been managing a quad issue all week and remains week-to-week, so the formal designation confirms what the practice reports previewed: the Jets' lead back will sit against Cleveland. Mitchell, who came over in the Jets' offseason receiving overhaul, has a finger issue that has held him out of practice alongside Hall.
The absence thins New York's backfield for a Browns matchup on Sunday afternoon in East Rutherford. With Hall on the sideline, the Jets will lean on their backup running back committee, while the passing game aims to keep its rhythm without Mitchell's target share. Both players' week-to-week status keeps the door open for a return not long after Sunday, but the opener versus Cleveland is officially out for the pair.
