Jets running back Braelon Allen likely out 8 to 12 weeks with knee injury
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen faces an eight to 12-week recovery due to a knee injury, coach Aaron Glenn said. Allen was hurt during a kickoff return last Monday in the Jets’ loss to the Dolphins. The injury is believed to be to the MCL in his left knee. Allen is considering whether to rehab or undergo surgery, with both options having the same recovery time. Breece Hall remains the Jets’ top running back, while Isaiah Davis moves up as Allen’s backup. The Jets have also signed veteran Khalil Herbert to add depth. Glenn said Friday that cornerback Michael Carter II is out with a concussion.
