Rookie Jets running back Breece Hall was having a breakout debut season before he tore his ACL in Sunday’s win at Denver.
The Jets could’ve decided to fully rely on second-year back Michael Carter and primary reserve Ty Johnson in Hall’s absence. But general manager Joe Douglas has decided to make a move via the trade market instead.
The Jets on Monday sent a sixth-round pick to the Jaguars for running back James Robinson, a talented third-year player who was descending the Jacksonville depth chart amid the emergence of Travis Etienne. It’s a conditional pick that would become a fifth-rounder if Robinson hits 600 rushing yards on the season, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
