After a week-long layoff due to a knee injury, running back Breece Hall is expected to be back in the New York Jets’ lineup when they face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at EverBank Stadium.

“He’s looking good right now, so it’s promising,” interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday after practice.

Things didn’t look that way by midweek, when the Jets’ leading rusher was “struggling a little bit,” according to Ulbrich. But Hall was a full participant when he returned to practice Friday and is considered questionable for the struggling Jets (3-10), who have lost four straight games.

Chances are Hall will play a smaller role against the Jaguars, especially with the emergence of rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, who combined for 148 yards from the field in last week’s 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins scrimmage and scored a touchdown.

Hall injured his surgically repaired left knee — a hyperextension with an MCL issue — on Nov. 17 against the Indianapolis Colts, Ulbrich said. Hall took a break during the Nov. 24 bye, but then aggravated it on Dec. 1 against the Seattle Seahawks, causing him to miss last week.

He lost a fumble in the 26-21 loss to the Seahawks, took the blame for the loss and said, “This year has probably been the most trying year of my life.” Hall predicted a 1,000-yard rushing season , has just 692 yards and six fumbles (one lost) – the best of his career. He only has a 100-yard rushing game and a 100-yard receiving game.

The Jets are weak at running back. Kene Nwangwu, who scored on a 99-yard kickoff return two weeks ago, is on injured reserve with a broken hand.

They could also be banged up at cornerback, with DJ Reed (groin) listed as doubtful and Brandin Echols (shoulder) out. The Jets hope Reed can play against the Jaguars. If not, Qwan’tez Stiggers, a 2024 draft pick who played in the CFL last season, could make his NFL starting debut. Starting corner Sauce Gardner will return after missing a game with a hamstring injury.
