Jets Will Have Breece Hall Available For Big Game vs Chiefs

As the New York Jets prepare for their upcoming game this week against the Kansas City Chiefs, the team will be getting a major piece back to the offense.

Star running back Breece Hall will be active for the game in Kansas City, giving New York's running game a boost. Hall has missed the last few games for the Jets due to an injury, but he has been practicing this week.

The running back was a full participant in practice on Friday for the Jets, giving him the go ahead for Sunday. Having Hall back in this game could help New York turn the tides against the Chiefs.

When healthy, Hall is among the top running backs in the entire NFL, but injuries have plagued his career. So far this year, Hall has rushed for 163 yards and one touchdown.

While Hall has been out, backup Braelon Allen has filled in nicely for New York, rushing for 565 yards and three touchdowns. This has led to trade speculation around Hall entering the NFL trade deadline next week.

The Jets will be coming into the contest with a record of 2-6 on the season, with the team having lost three straight games. New York has had chances to win every game this year, but the team just hasn't been able to close games in the end,

This has led to all sorts of calls for the organization to fire head coach Aaron Glenn, especially with how the year has gone. But to this point, New York has held off making a decision on Glenn, sticking with the head coach.

However, if the Jets were to continue to lose in tough ways, Glenn could be really pushing his luck with his job. New York wants to be competing for a playoff spot, and unless some major change happens, the Jets' long postseason drought will continue.

While this isn't all on the shoulders of Glenn, the lack of disclipine in crucial game situations doesn't help his case. But if Glenn could get a win over the Chiefs this week, it could silence all the noise around him, at least for a few days. 

Kansas City will be coming into the game with a record of 5-2 on the year, with the team having lost two in a row. New York will try to make this three straight for the Chiefs, but it will take a total team effort to happen.

Kickoff for the game between the Jets and Chiefs is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET from Kansas City.
