Commanders WR Stefon Diggs returns to Thursday practice

Ian Rapoport reported Jets RB Breece Hall is set to return in Week 9.

Hall's quad appears good to go. Rapoport said again the team doesn't plan to trade Hall, but even Rapoport wondered what would happen if a team came along and gave them a good offer - especially because Allen has proved to be a nice RB1 option. If the team doesn't move off Hall by this week, it's looking like it will be a workload split between Hall and Allen. Granted it's the Jets, but it would be hard to not give Allen at least a decent-sized workload given how he's preformed with Hall out of action.

Breece Hall missed his fifth straight game with a quad injury on Sunday and Braelon Allen continued to shine in his absence.

Hall has practiced the last two weeks and he’s been scratched after being listed as questionable, which has joined Allen’s performance as reasons for some to wonder if the Jets might be thinking about trading Hall ahead of the November 10 deadline.

The Jets have also reportedly rebuffed overtures from teams interested in trading for wide receiver Garrett Wilson, so it does not appear that their 2-6 start is going to lead to a fire sale over the next week.

Allen ran 21 times for 147 yards and a touchdown in the 38-33 loss to the Raiders and he’s averaging just over 100 yards a game while Hall has been out of the lineup. It seems like trading Hall should at least be considered by the Jets, especially with a replacement already proving he's a quality NFL back. But Glenn insisted, "Breece is still a part of this team," and the Jets are, "in the business of keeping good players." It could be coach-speak as teams this time of year look to drive up prices as the trade deadline gets closer.

Saquon Barkley said he was told by the organization that he would not be traded.

Barkley: "I didn't really read too much (trade rumors). You see the tweets and whatever, but I guess it means a lot. I have nothing but respect for this organization, top to bottom. I really do think they do things the right way. I relish every time to go out there and play for this organization, put on the midnight green. So when that message was relayed to me, it definitely does mean a lot. But my whole mindset is we have a little issue going on right now and I feel like I'm the type of player and type of leader who can help us get out of it. I want to be one of the reasons why we fix it."

The Eagles have been crushed with injuries and their season looks to be lost as they sit at 2-6. Barkley is inching toward 30 and is typically the type of player the Eagles would move on from, especially at running back. But reports about the Eagles keeping Barkley came out over the weekend. The Eagles are planning to contend next year and want Barkley to be a part of that. As for this year, Barkley is dealing with hamstring and back issues, so it doesn't make a lot of sense for the Eagles to keep pushing him out there this season. At this point, he'll be a risky fantasy play as long as he's dealing with injuries, and based on Sunday night, will probably be part of a timeshare with whoever else is healthy at RB.
