Jets face setback as Braelon Allen sustains knee injury against Dolphins
The New York Jets have encountered a significant injury concern early in the season, as running back Braelon Allen suffered a knee injury during their Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The incident occurred in the second quarter while Allen was returning a kickoff, a situation that raises questions about the wisdom of placing key offensive players in such vulnerable positions.
Before his untimely exit, Allen showcased his potential with an impressive performance, accumulating four carries for 26 yards. His productive night was cut short, leaving the Jets in a precarious situation. With Allen sidelined, Isaiah Davis is set to step in as the backup to Breece Hall, crucially impacting the team’s depth at the running back position.
