The New York Jets have been able to find more success after starting the 2025 season with a 0-7 record.

However, more information has been provided on Jets running back Braelon Allen. The second-year pro hasn't appeared in a game since Week 4 after spraining his MCL, resulting in being placed on injured reserve.
Glenn: Braelon Allen is 'likely' done for the rest of 2025
Before New York's Week 13 win, head coach Aaron Glenn provided an update on Braelon Allen, saying that the running back is "more than likely done for the season."
The original injury designation for the 21-year-old was 8-to-12 weeks. Fast forward to now, and it appears that New York will allow Allen to fully recover from the knee injury and avoid the risk of re-aggravating the setback.

The Jets will continue to rely on a running back room that consists of Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis. Through 12 games this season, the two have combined for 971 rushing yards and four touchdowns.
