Hall seemed to be on his way to adding to his fantastic rookie numbers on Sunday. The Iowa State standout had 72 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Broncos before suffering the injury. On the season, the 21-year-old has put up 463 rushing yards and four touchdowns and was well on his way to contending for Rookie of the Year hardware.
It’s a big blow to a New York Jets team that has exceeded expectations with a 5-2 record, putting them just a half-game behind the AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills. Michael Carter will take the bulk of carries for New York moving forward.
FanDuel Sportsbook has the Jets as +2.5-point home dogs and +112 on the moneyline.
