The New York Jets are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals, still seeking their first victory of the season. A key concern is the status of their star running back, Breece Hall, who is listed as questionable due to a knee injury. Despite this, he is expected to play as the team has declared him active. This is a boost for the Jets, who will be without wide receiver Garrett Wilson, sidelined with a knee injury, making Hall’s role even more crucial.
If Hall is limited, Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen are expected to step up. Both players are known for their explosiveness, but Hall remains the standout option. Hall’s speed and ability as a pass-catcher could be pivotal in breaking the Jets’ winless streak.
In terms of the quarterback position, Tyrod Taylor is out due to a knee injury, meaning Justin Fields will take the helm. The Jets’ offense is expected to have fluctuating performances, while the Bengals, rejuvenated under Joe Flacco, pose a significant challenge. The Jets must perform well to avoid an 0-8 start.
