Update, Sept. 8 — Hall was limited again on Friday. Since the Jets will face the Bills on this week’s edition of Monday Night Football, they have one extra day of practice on Saturday. We will get Hall’s official game designation after that final practice.

Update, Sept. 7 — Hall kicked off the week with a limited practice participation on Thursday. The Jets don’t play the Bills until Monday night, so the New York running back will have two more shots to land a full participation in practice.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall will reportedly be active for his team’s Week 1 game against the Buffalo Bills. His return to the field has been highly anticipated by Jets fans and fantasy managers alike. Hall, a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, rushed for 463 yards in the first seven games of last season before he tore his ACL and meniscus.
Hall was activated off the PUP list on August 15 and has been practicing with the team since.
Breece Hall won’t practice today, per Saleh, who calls it a planned rest day. Hall is expected to play, as is Cook. They won’t be on a snap count, per se, but Saleh says they will be prudent with their usage. #Jets

Fantasy football implications for Week 1
Hall and Dalvin Cook, who the Jets signed to a one-year contract last month, will both be available to play in Week 1. However, head coach Robert Saleh will likely plan to ease both players back into full form and will be keeping close tabs on their health throughout the game. Hall may not be a major producer in Week 1, but his overall fantasy outlook for the season shouldn’t change because of that.
Michael Carter and Israel Abanikanda are also on the depth chart for the Jets.
