Jets Get Great Injury News Ahead of Week 9 Game vs Chiefs

The New York Jets will be taking on the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend, with the team heading out on the road for the game.

New York is coming off another tough loss last week to the Las Vegas Raiders, sending them to 2-6 on the year. But this Jets team has played much more competitively this season, being in on every game this season.

Kansas City will be a major test for the Jets, even with the Chiefs having lost two straight games themselves. This Chiefs team is 5-2 on the year, but they are much stronger at home than they are on the road.

But heading into the game against the Chiefs, New York did get some good injury news during practice on Thursday. Star running back Breece Hall, David Bailey, and Mason Taylor were all full participants in the practice for New York.

This is huge news for the team, putting each player on track to be available for the game on Sunday against Kansas City. The final injury report for the game will come this weekend, but this is a step in the right direction for the team.

Just getting Hall back will be massive for the Jets, with him likely to split carries with backup Braelon Allen, who filled in for him while he was hurt. Allen played very well for New York, putting up over 100 yards in three of his last four games.

But having Hall back on the field could help make this New York offense be even more explosive, giving them more firepower. When healthy, Hall is among the top running backs in the entire NFL.

As for Bailey, he has been very impressive so far in his rookie season for the Jets, playing in seven of eight games. Bailey has recorded 35 total tackles, 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and one pass deflection.

The rookie missed last week due to injury, but he's not on track to return this week for New York. Having Bailey on the field could help the Jets defense out greatly, especially with his ability to get to the quarterback.

All in all, this injury news for the Jets is positive, and it could help even the playing field a little in the game against the Chiefs. Kickoff for the Jets and Chiefs matchup is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET from Kansas City.
