Jets' Braelon Allen: Lands on IR
The New York Jets officially placed Braelon Allen (knee) on IR on Thursday.The expected move freed up a roster spot for the team's addition of fellow running back Khalil Herbert. Allen thus is slated to miss a minimum of four games, though it's possible that his stint on IR could continue beyond that, with Rich Cimini of ESPN.com noting that the RB's injury is still being evaluated, and surgery is considered a possibility. In Allen's absence, Isaiah Davis, Herbert and Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) -- when healthy -- will provide depth behind top back Breece Hall.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Bound for IR
The New York Jets intend to place Braelon Allen (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Allen is recovering from an MCL sprain sustained in Monday's 27-21 loss to the Dolphins, and while a formal timeline for his return won't be established until a decision is made whether he'll require surgery, the 21-year-old will be sidelined for at least the Jets' next four games. New York could add another running back to its roster in a corresponding move when Allen is officially placed on IR, but as it stands, Isaiah Davis and Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) are the backfield options behind starter Breece Hall.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Has MCL sprain, move to IR likely
Braelon Allen sustained an MCL sprain during Monday's 27-21 loss at Miami and likely will be placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Prior to injuring his knee on a kick return in the second quarter, Allen was splitting the reps at running back with Breece Hall, with the former turning his four carries into 26 yards. If Allen requires a stint on IR, he'll be required to miss at least four games. In the meantime, Hall likely will take on a workhorse role out of the New York Jets backfield, while Isaiah Davis would be the top candidate to handle any reps that don't go to Hall.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Season-high volume against Bucs
Braelon Allen carried the ball six times for 30 yards and caught both his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.While he still took a back seat to Breece Hall in the New York Jets' backfield, Allen came closer to an even split of the workload as Hall turned 13 touches into 52 scrimmage yards. The second-year RB is still only on the edge of the fantasy radar in most formats, but he's trending in the right direction headed into a Week 4 clash with the Dolphins.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Two touches in Week 2
Braelon Allen rushed twice for 11 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.Allen had just two touches to Breece Hall's 12, suggesting the former remains a distant second on the New York Jets' depth chart. The entire offense struggled in this one and actually picked up the pace down the stretch after Justin Fields (concussion) exited in the fourth quarter. Allen's outlook is unlikely to change if Fields misses additional action, in which case Tyrod Taylor would start under center.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Struggles outside of TD run
Braelon Allen rushed six times for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers. He wasn't targeted in the passing game.Allen was stopped short on a two-point conversion attempt in the first quarter but bounced back with an eight-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. His five other carries produced just one yard, while Breece Hall turned 21 touches into 145 yards. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound Allen could work as the more powerful complement to the shifty Hall in a run-heavy New York Jets offense, but Allen won't get many opportunities if he continues to get stuffed on the majority of his carries. Allen will look to improve his efficiency in Week 2 against the Bills.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Another fruitful performance
Braelon Allen tallied seven carries for 34 yards during Saturday's 31-12 preseason defeat to the Giants.Allen split the backfield work with No. 1 RB Breece Hall during the New York Jets' first two drives, and the former ended up outgaining his position mate by eight yards on the same number of rushes. Through two exhibitions, Allen has 15 carries for 67 yards, which amounts to 4.5 YPC (or nearly 1.0 yard more than the 3.6 he averaged as a rookie last season). The sample size is small, but it appears as if Allen will be in the mix for touches early and often alongside Hall in 2025.
