The Jets’ leading running back, Breece Hall, didn’t practice on Wednesday and is a question mark for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks at MetLife Stadium.“Last week, he got nicked in the game with his knee, finished the game [against the Colts] and finished well,” Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday.“He had some soreness last week [during the bye] and had a little bit of soreness [Tuesday], so we’re just going to protect him from himself a little bit.“We’ll see how the week goes along, [and are] still hopeful that he’s going to play for us, but we’ll see.’’Hall has rushed for 632 yards, a 4.2-yard average and has four rushing touchdowns.
He’s also caught 46 passes for 401 yards and two TDs.He rushed for 78 yards and a TD and caught seven passes for 43 yards and a TD in the 28-27 loss to the Colts in which he got hurt.Tyron Smith’s season appears to be over.
The 33-year-old left tackle, who was signed to a one-year, $6.5 million contract in the offseason, missed last week’s game with a neck injury after playing the first 10 this season.Ulbrich said on Wednesday the doctors are “still collecting information’’ on the injury and added, “He’s definitely becoming an IR candidate.”If Smith, who played his first 13 seasons with the Cowboys, is placed on IR, it’ll surely end his season and, at his age, very possibly his career.“Just not enough improvement at this point, and it’s really become apparent that we might have to do what’s best for Tyron in that way,” Ulbrich said.“He’s got the best doctors on Earth working with him.”WR Malachi Corley missed practice because he was “under the weather,” according to Ulbrich.
CB Qwan’tez Stiggers was excused for personal reasons.Veteran LB C.J.Mosley, who’s missed the past four games with a neck injury, practiced Wednesday and is planning to play Sunday, barring any setbacks.
Mosley has missed seven of the 11 games this season with injuries....
