Jets' Breece Hall Not Expected to Play vs. Raiders; Braelon Allen Starts Again
Hall practiced on a limited basis all week, but the quad injury will cost him a fifth straight game
Breece Hall is going to sit again. The Jets running back is not expected to play Sunday against the Raiders, with the team hoping he's ready next week, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported.

Hall, listed as questionable with a quad injury, practiced all week but only on a limited basis, and he's not quite there yet, per Fowler. That would make five straight missed games for Hall, who sat out last week's loss to Miami as well when he was ruled inactive after a similar week of limited work. Limited practice has gotten him to questionable twice now, but he still hasn't strung together the full participation that would signal he's ready for a full workload.
That means Braelon Allen is slated to start again, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. Allen has made the most of the opportunity, posting two 100-yard games as a starter and averaging nearly 5 yards per carry, according to Rapoport. He ran for 104 yards on 17 carries and caught six passes against the Dolphins.
Hall's absence keeps an awkward question hanging over the Jets' backfield. He signed a three-year, $43.5 million deal in May, but Allen's production has made it harder to simply hand the job back once Hall is healthy, and the trade deadline is Nov. 10. The 2-5 Jets have lost two straight and host the 3-4 Raiders at MetLife Stadium on Sunday at 10 a.m. PT.
