Here's what I've gathered about Breece Hall's groin injury:
The injury: Hall went down untouched during practice on August 17 while running after a catch in the red zone, favoring his groin/upper right leg area. He walked off with trainers and was evaluated in the medical tent.
The severity: Coach Aaron Glenn called it a strained groin and believes it's minor. The team planned to be "precautionary" with him. Multiple sources (from the Braelon Allen page) describe it as "likely not serious."
What the experts are saying:
- FantasyPros noted the groin injury "makes things a little bit more dicey" for Hall's ranking (from the FantasyPros YouTube clip).
- Fantasy Football Today reported it was a non-contact injury that happened in practice and contrasted it with Hall's "very encouraging preseason game" where he played 11 of 12 snaps (from Fantasy Football Today).
- Underdog's Josh & Hayden confirmed HC Aaron Glenn said it's a strain and walked off with trainers (from Underdog).
The bottom line: All early signals point to a minor strain, not a long-term concern. The Jets have been cautious, but Hall should be fine for Week 1. That said, Braelon Allen (backup RB) is worth a late-round flyer just in case — he looked explosive in preseason Week 1 (44 yards, TD on 4 carries) and would inherit the lead role if Hall misses any time.
