But it’s a thing that’s maybe not improving as much as he’d like at this point. So, we’ll see how it goes this week.”
Should Hall, who has 692 rushing yards and four touchdowns, along with 401 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns, not be able to go, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will step in to work again. The rookie running backs have produced with…
