The Jets can have their most significant offensive weapon on the sector for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks at MetLife Stadium.
Running back Breece Hall, who had knee soreness following their most up-to-date game, Nov. 17 against the Colts, said on Friday after practice he feels “tremendous” and is able to go against Seattle.
Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Hall “is trending in the appropriate direction,” adding, “We’re hopeful he’ll play.’’
Hall, who leads the team with 632 yards and 4 rushing touchdowns and in addition has 46 receptions for 401 yards and two touchdowns receiving, said, “Football is football at the top of the day. Everybody is sore.
“I tweaked my knee within the second quarter of the Indy game and played through it,’’ Hall said. “After which I rehabbed it last week and it was still feeling sore. So, they let me have a couple of rest days after which I attacked it [Friday] and felt good.’’
Hall rushed for 78 yards and a TD and caught seven passes for 43 yards and one other touchdown within the Jets’ 28-27 loss to the Colts.
As expected, Jets LT Tyron Smith is out for the sport as he deals with a neck injury that’s likely ending his season and underwhelming Jets profession. … LB C.J. Mosley, also coping with a neck injury, won’t play, either. It’ll be the fifth consecutive game he’s missed and eighth overall this season.
The mystery involving Jets safety Tony Adams powers on. Adams, who began 15 games last season and eight this season, was reportedly benched last week on the request of team owner Woody Johnson. The Athletic reported it, and the Jets didn’t deny it.
Adams played only seven snaps on special teams and none on defense within the Colts game. Ulbrich said Friday, “Tony’s a man that, from a culture standpoint, we absolutely love. He didn’t play as much as I might’ve liked last week for whatever the rationale, and this week he’s going to play a little bit bit more. He’s going to get reintegrated into our defense.”
Adams, after Friday’s practice, told The Post he had no idea why he was benched, but he was looking forward to returning to the defense this week.
“I’ve definitely been getting reps in practice this week, in order that’s great,” Adams said. “I just need to go on the market and help the team. That’s all what I’m all about. I don’t know anything about [the report about Johnson wanting him benched]. I don’t pay an excessive amount of attention what goes on on social media.
“I’m here for one reason and one reason only — to assist this organization win games. I can’t wait to get back on the market, fly around with the blokes, do whatever it takes to assist us win some games. Because at the top of the day, that’s the one thing that matters.’’
