If Hall misses time, backup Braelon Allen would step in as starter, supported by Isaiah Davis (knee), Kene Nwangwu, and undrafted rookies Sam Scott and Chip Trayanum.

CADE KLUBNIK emerged as a clear winner at quarterback, finishing 5 of 7 for 56 yards with a 94.9 passer rating and driving scoring drives, bolstering his backup QB case.

The Jets announce that Breece Hall strained his groin in practice and will undergo tests to determine the severity, with the coach remaining cautiously optimistic about his status.

In 2025, Hall contributed 1,065 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns, plus 350 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown across 36 receptions, highlighting his productive impact when healthy.

Defensive backs stood out for the Buccaneers in the game, forcing two turnovers including a pick-six.

Overall, the preseason opener is framed as a roster evaluation, with battles shaping at quarterback, running back, linebacker, and secondary spots.
