Jets running back Breece Hall, whose promising rookie year was derailed by a torn ACL in his left knee on Oct. 23, is expected to be ready for Week 1, Rich Cimini of ESPN New York reports. Training camp appears unlikely -- he will use the time for continued rehab -- but lost practice time in July and August shouldn't matter much. The whole idea is to get him ready for Sept. 10.
It's hard to predict how a running back will respond from an ACL tear. (Hall also had a minor meniscus injury.) But the Jets expect Hall to return to his pre-injury form when he averaged 5.8 yards per carry.
"Breece looks fantastic," coach Robert Saleh said.
If Hall isn't 100%, the Jets will rely heavily on Michael Carter, Zonovan "Bam" Knight and Ty Johnson, who re-signed on a one-year contract. "We love our running back room," Saleh said.
