The New York Jets shuffled their running back room this week, signing veteran RB Khalil Herbert and placing RB Braelon Allen on injured reserve. Allen went down with a knee injury during Monday night’s loss to Miami, opening the door for Herbert, who brings four years of NFL experience and special teams versatility. The full release from the Jets appears below.
Allen (6-1, 235) sustained a knee injury while returning a kickoff during the second quarter of Monday’s 27-21 loss to the Dolphins. The second-year member of the Jets has appeared in all 4 games this season, rushing for 76 yards and adding 2 receptions for 17 yards.
