We won’t be seeing Braelon Allen strap up again for the New York Jets in 2025.Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed the news when he spoke to the media on Friday, November 28.“More than likely, he is done for the season and getting himself ready for next season,” coach Glenn explained.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport shared on September 30 that Allen suffered a “MCL sprain.”Coach Glenn said Allen’s recovery timeline would be in the 8-12 weeks range. That initial rehab projection put Allen in line to potentially return this week against the Atlanta Falcons.Allen Opted for SurgeryOn October 21, Allen took to his Instagram, posting a photo of his knee with what appeared to be surgical scars via ESPN’s Rich Cimini.“Day by day,” Allen wrote in a text caption with the picture. From Braelon Allen’s IG: Appears that he did opt for surgery. At the time of the injury, Aaron Glenn said Allen had the option of surgery or rehab, with the same timetable for return (2-3 months). There’s no point in rushing back for this season. #Jets pic.twitter.com/FCcguXmlBv — Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) October 21, 2025 “There are two different ways he can go about it,” Coach Glenn said in October via CBS Sports. “He could actually rehab this or he could have surgery and get it cleaned up. The rehab time would be exactly the same. That’ll be a decision he and his agent have to make, and I’m not making that decision for him.”The Future of the Jets Running Back PositionAllen, 21, has two years remaining on his $4.5 million rookie contract through the 2027 season.The talented running back entered the league as the No. 134 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft.He has appeared in 21 games and has made two starts. With those opportunities, Allen has toted the rock 110 times for 410 rushing yards, has averaged 3.7 rushing yards per attempt, and has scored three times on the ground.Through the air, Allen has caught 21 receptions for 165 receiving yards and has scored one receiving touchdown.Allen’s Injury Changed the Jets’ Plans at the NFL Trade DeadlineNFL Insider Connor Hughes said on “Jets Final Drive” in August that “everyone likes to talk about Breece Hall because there was so much hype for him earlier in his career, I think Braelon Allen might be the Jets’ best running back. I really think he [Allen] is that good.” Butter my buns & call me a biscuit!@Connor_J_Hughes told @ZackBlatt on ‘#Jets Final Drive’ that he thinks Braelon Allen ‘might be the Jets best running back.’ 👀 🎥 #JFD @SNYtv #JetUp FULL EPISODE: https://t.co/LpWY3qKRzR pic.twitter.com/ALUHO0V5Gt — Paul Andrew Esden Jr (@BoyGreen25) August 22, 2025 Hall was the subject of some heavy rumors ahead of the NFL trade deadline. However, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, Allen’s knee injury complicated matters for the team regarding whether they could move Hall.It’s fair to wonder, if Allen never got hurt, would Hall still be a member of the team? That topic is likely better suited for the N “if” L rather than the reality of the situation. The trade deadline came and went — Hall remains under contract with the team through the rest of this season.According to Hughes, the team has changed its stance on Hall’s future.“It is insane how this has changed over the course of a month. I would have bet my mortgage on Breece Hall not being with this team in 2026 and probably half my mortgage on Breece Hall not being on the Jets after the trade deadline. They were fielding offers for him. He seemed pretty uninterested in being with the team long term. The Jets weren’t willing to invest in that position,” Hughes explained on “Jets Mailbag.”“The Jets have the money to pay Hall and basically feel no ramifications from that at all. So it’s getting to…

Cleveland Browns superstar edge-rusher Myles Garrett brims with confidence every time he steps on an NFL field or in front of a microphone, but he took it to an entirely new level on Friday, November 28.Garrett spoke with reporters the day after Thanksgiving about his now exceedingly good chances of breaking the league’s all-time sack record. Garrett currently has 18 sacks through 11 games played. He has six contests left to break the record of 22.5 sacks, which is jointly held by Michael Strahan (2001), formerly of the New York Giants, and Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end TJ Watt (2021). Myles Garrett on the possibility of breaking the NFL’s single-season sack record: “I don’t even think about it as a want. I just think about it as something I’m gonna knock down. It’s already been written in my mind that it’s going, it’s just how far I’m gonna take it.” — Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) November 28, 2025 “I don’t even think about it as a want. I just think about it as something I’m gonna knock down,” Garrett said. “It’s already been written in my mind that it’s going, it’s just how far I’m gonna take it.”Myles Garrett Poised to Shatter All-Time Sack Mark Given Remaining Schedule GettyCleveland Browns star pass-rusher Myles Garrett. Garrett is a six-time Pro Bowler and six-time All-Pro, as well as the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year (2023). Despite all of that success, the 29-year-old defensive end has already put up career highs in both sacks (18) and tackles for loss (26) through essentially two-thirds of the 2025 campaign.Strahan appears to agree with Garrett that he will eventually break the record, making the following comment last Sunday: “Sack record, it’s been nice knowing ya.”Garrett has built his pursuit of the record through five multi-sack games this season. The first came in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals when he put up two sacks, while he produced 1.5 of them the following game against the Baltimore Ravens.The last four weeks have seen Garrett go on an absolute tear. He tallied five sacks in a loss to the New England Patriots a month ago before posting four and three sacks against the Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders over the past two games, respectively.Garrett also has the advantage of an upcoming contest against the Tennessee Titans (1-10) in Cleveland on December 7. The Titans have surrendered 45 sacks through 11 games this season, which equates to more than four per contest and is the worst mark in the NFL.The Browns also play the Buffalo Bills, who have surrendered 28 sacks across 11 contests in 2025, as well as the Cincinnati Bengals, who have given up 25 sacks to opposing defenses over 12 games played.Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel QB Controversy Helping Myles Garrett Keep Browns’ Season Relevant GettyCleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Garrett’s pursuit of the record adds intrigue to a 3-8 season for the Browns that has been otherwise relatively devoid of it for weeks, save for the quarterback controversy brewing between rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel.Sanders took over for Gabriel during the second half of the team’s Week 11 matchup with Baltimore due to the latter suffering a concussion. He played poorly in his first-ever regular season action in the NFL, but Gabriel remained in concussion protocol the following week, which opened up the chance for Sanders to start.Sanders led the Browns to 24-10 victory on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders last weekend, after which head coach Kevin Stefanski said the team would stick with Sanders in its home game against the San Francisco 49ers this weekend.It is entirely possible that Sanders finishes out the year as Cleveland’s starting quarterback. However, regardless of how well he or Gabriel plays down the stretch of the season, the Browns will likely consider seriously drafting a rookie signal-caller in 2026, as they hold two first-round picks.
