The New York Jets will be without starting running back Breece Hall for Sunday’s Week 4 game against the Chicago Bears, according to the team’s final injury report. Hall is dealing with a quadriceps injury and was one of four offensive starters ruled out on Friday.

What happened

Hall missed practice throughout the week and was officially ruled out on Friday. He is joined on the sideline by wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger), tight end Mason Taylor (thumb), and left guard Dylan Parham (knee). Linebacker Kiko Mauigoa (quad) is also out. Edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare (knee) was limited Friday and is questionable.

Mitchell is considered week to week and will miss his second straight game after injuring his finger in practice last week. Parham was injured during last week’s game and is likely to be replaced by Jordan Meredith at left guard.

Context

Hall has been the centerpiece of the Jets offense this season, with 51 carries for 163 rushing yards and 10 receptions for 102 receiving yards through three games. Without him, the Jets will turn to their running back depth. The team has said it remains confident in its running back room despite Hall’s absence.

The absences of Mitchell and Taylor last week opened the door for rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq to break out, catching seven passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 loss to Detroit. That game saw a tight end-heavy approach, as receivers other than Garrett Wilson caught just two passes for 24 yards.

The Jets enter the game at 1-2 and are looking to avoid a three-game losing streak. They face a Bears defense that will also be missing some key players, as Chicago has ruled out starting quarterback Caleb Williams due to a hamstring injury.

What’s next

The Jets will play the Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field. Hall’s status for Week 5 is uncertain, but the team will likely provide an update when they return to practice next week.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Hall out, Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen should see the bulk of the Jets backfield work. Davis is the preferred add in deep leagues given his pass-catching upside, but Allen could handle early-down and goal-line work. The Jets offense struggled behind a banged-up line last week, so temper expectations — this is a desperation flex situation in most formats. Garrett Wilson remains the only reliable Jets receiver, and the tight end-heavy approach from Week 3 could resurface, making Kenyon Sadiq an interesting streaming option if you need a tight end. In DFS, avoid the Jets running backs and consider pivoting to the Bears defense, which faces a depleted New York offense.
