It appears the New York Jets could again be without their starting running back this coming weekend. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters on Wednesday that Breece Hall is still dealing with the knee injury that kept him out of the team’s Week 14 loss to the division rival Miami Dolphins.

Ulbrich said Hall is “still struggling a bit” with the knee injury, which is not improving as much as the team would like, via ESPN. The Jets coach added they were not considering shutting him down for the season just yet.

Hall has taken a step backward this season, averaging just 4.2 yards per carry compared with 4.5 last year and 5.8 (albeit in only seven games) during his rookie season. He’s broken tackles less often and has not created as many explosive gains. He had been showing improvement in those areas prior to the injury, averaging at least 4.9 yards per carry in five consecutive games before going down.
