Aaron Glenn says Breece Hall is Jets' starter despite Braelon Allen's emergence

Aaron Glenn affirmed that Breece Hall will remain the New York Jets’ starting running back, even as backup Braelon Allen continues his breakout performance. Glenn’s comment arrived as the Jets head into the final week before the NFL trade deadline, a period when roster decisions accelerate. NBC Sports relayed head coach confidence, quoting Reich as assuming Hall is the guy. ESPN carried Glenn’s statement, underscoring the staff’s commitment to Hall.

The New York Times and Yahoo Sports explored whether Allen’s surge makes Hall expendable, with Yahoo noting the Bengals as a possible trade target. Other clubs have entered the conversation, expanding the potential pool of destinations. Sports Illustrated listed Hall among realistic trade candidates, highlighting market interest as the deadline looms. The decision shapes the roles of both running backs and informs the Jets’ offensive game plan for the remaining season games.

It also signals to potential suitors that Hall is not slated for immediate departure, though the trade market remains active. Observers will watch the deadline outcome and any subsequent roster moves announced by the franchise. The Jets will finalize their roster decisions in the next few days before the league‑mandated deadline.
