The Jets are placing second-year running back Braelon Allen on injured with what head coach Aaron Glenn called a “pretty serious knee injury,” according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.
Allen went down in Week 4 with an initial report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport claiming that he “suffered an MCL sprain that will likely land him on injured reserve.”
There were many that expected Allen to have a breakout year after an impressive rookie season but Allen has not been able to established a stable role with the Jets and hasn’t been able to steal many touches away from starter Breece Hall. He has only carried the ball 18 times for 76 yards and one touchdown while adding two receptions for 17 yards through the air.
The Jets signed running back Khalil Herbert after placing Allen on injured reserve.
