The New York Jets have nothing left to play for, other than pride, of course. But it appears the franchise isn't throwing in the towel just yet. Against all odds, the Jets plan to have lead running back Breece Hall suit up against the Jacksonville Jaguars later today.
Is Breece Hall playing today vs the Jacksonville Jaguars?
Hall did not participate in practice on Wednesday and Thursday owing to a knee injury. However, he did get a full workout in on Friday. ESPN insider Adam Schefter reports that the Jets plan on having Hall back on the field when they take on the Jaguars this afternoon.

What happened to Breece Hall?
Prior to the Week 12 bye, Hall suffered a hyperextension on his surgically repaired knee, complicating matters for one of the league's most dependable running backs. He then aggravated that issue in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Hall had three straight DNPs the following week and missed the overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins. After that game, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich indicated that the franchise had no plans to shut Hall down for the rest of the season despite a lack of stakes involved in the Jets' schedule.
Breece Hall fantasy projection for Week 15
Hall is a consistent, dependable asset most weeks but we are hesitant to bank on him for a full workload this week. A hyperextension with MCL involvement is a tricky injury to return from after a week.
It is likely that the Jets will cut down on his workload especially given they have Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis as backups. The Jacksonville Jaguars have struggled to contain RBs all season, so you can still bank on Hall and Allen to deliver some points this week.
The Jets vs Jaguars game will kick off at 1 p.m. ESTfrom EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville. The game will air live on FOX.
