The New York Jets are bracing for a potential injury setback as running back Breece Hall, who recently achieved a career milestone with 1,065 yards rushing, is questionable to play in the season finale against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Hall has been dealing with a knee issue and was limited in practice on Friday. Hall's status is uncertain, but coach Aaron Glenn said he will be 'limited' on Saturday, leaving the team to assess his condition before the game. The 22-year-old Hall has been a bright spot for the Jets this season, recording 111 yards and a 59-yard touchdown in last week's loss to the New England Patriots. If Hall is unable to play, the Jets will be left with Khalil Herbert and Kene Nwangwu as their only healthy running backs on the active roster. Rookie quarterback Brady Cook will make his fourth consecutive start, while Hendon Hooker is likely to serve as his backup. In other injury news, several players, including rookie tight end Mason Taylor, will miss the season finale due to various ailments. However, a glimmer of hope has emerged for the Jets, as Isaiah Williams, a dynamic return specialist, has been named the team's MVP. Williams, who was signed off the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad in Week 2, has been a revelation for the Jets, earning AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors and scoring two punt returns for touchdowns. Williams' story is one of perseverance, as he was waived by the Jets in October before being re-signed to the practice squad and eventually promoted to the active roster. His message of staying true to oneself and not letting others define one's story has resonated with his teammates. As the Jets conclude a disappointing 3-13 season, Williams' recognition serves as a testament to the team's resilience and determination. The season finale against the Bills will be a fitting conclusion to an up-and-down season, with the Jets looking to end on a high note despite injuries and other challenges.
