Allen has had time recover from an MCL injury suffered last October, which carried a return timetable of 8-to-12 weeks at that point. While the 2024 fourth-round draft pick out of Wisconsin has impressed in practice, Allen will likely continue to cede the majority of backfield opportunities to Hall, who agreed to a three-year, $45.75 million extension with the Jets earlier in the offseason.","Injury":{"Status":"","Type":null,"Location":null,"Detail":null,"Side":null,"ReturnDate":null},"Player":{"FirstName":"Braelon","LastName":"Allen","Position":"RB","Link":"https://www.rotowire.com/football/player/braelon-allen-17702","Id":"17702"},"Team":{"Id":"21","Code":"NYJ"}},{"Id":"630871","DateTime":"2026-05-14T08:45:32-07:00","Priority":"3","Headline":"In Jets\u0027 backfield plans for 2026","Notes":"Davis is set to reclaim a backup role behind Breece Hall in 2026, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.","Analysis":"Davis and Braelon Allen have had time to recover from the respective concussion and knee injury that sidelined them to close out the 2025 campaign.
