If anyone thought Dalvin Cook’s addition was a sign that Hall’s recovery from a torn ACL was slower than expected, the reality is actually the opposite. Breece Hall is on track to return by Week 1, and Cook still needs some time for both personal reasons (he’s expecting a child) and health (coming off shoulder surgery).

Throughout the summer, Saleh has noted that Hall has run as fast as 22 or 23 mph while rehabbing, according to the team’s GPS tracking, which is about the same speed of his 62-yard run against the Broncos last year before getting injured. Hall is still being eased back into practice, though.

The addition of Cook was only surprising in that the Jets already have Hall in the building, and they view him as a star-level player capable of carrying the workload.

Adding Cook means someone else might wind up being the odd man out. Hall and Cook are safely locked into roster spots. So is Abanikanda, a fifth-round rookie. So then it comes down to which of Carter or Knight the Jets want to keep around as the third/fourth running back. Fullback Nick Bawden could factor into the equation, too, the story went on to say. Those owning Carter and Knight may want to wait this out a bit.

After releasing a pass (interception), Aaron Rodgers clutches his left calf. He’s limping around, but stays in for the next play. This was his “good” calf. Injured the right in OTAs.

Of course the most famous calf injury so far this season belongs to Joe Burrow, who remains out. Rodgers did continue to practice but struggled according to other reports. There certainly could be more to learn about this injury as the day goes on.

Running back Dalvin Cook is officially a member of the Jets, but he won't be practicing with them this week.

Head coach Robert Saleh said at a Tuesday press conference that it will be at least a week before Cook joins the team on the practice field. Cook's child is due to be born soon and he is coming off of shoulder surgery this offseason.

Once Cook is ready to go, Saleh said the team will be working on ways to maximize his contributions as well as those of fellow backs Hall and Carter. Saleh said the team still believes Hall, who was activated from the PUP list Tuesday, will be ready to go in Week One and that he thinks there are many ways Cook can join the team's returning players to put stress on defenses.

Saleh says he’s “very confident” that Breece Hall will be ready for Week 1.

Hall just came off the PUP list after the team signed Cook. While it's still possible the Jets ease Hall into action to start the season, things are already starting to become interesting in the Jets backfield.

Breece Hall is coming off the PUP list today, per source. He’ll be limited at practice.

Hall returns a day after that Jets sign Cook to join him in the backfield. The Jets will likely bring along Hall slowly for the rest of the summer and perhaps even the start of the season. Many feel eventually Hall will take over the backfield based on youth and talent.

Free agent RB Dalvin Cook is planning to sign a one-year deal worth up to $8.6 million with the New York Jets, per source.

Another RB domino falls today as many felt it was just a matter of time before Cook ended up with the Jets - this despite a story today where Carter said he felt the team didn't need Cook. Perhaps the biggest question now is the status of Hall, who is coming off a torn ACL last season. Speculation at this point is Hall either isn't completely ready or the Jets just want to ease him back in. As a result, it may be safe to assume Cook leads the backfield, at least early on until Hall is back to form, where perhaps a split or hot hand situation forms. It's a win-now move for the Jets, who didn't seem to want to give Carter, rookie Abanikanda or last year's sensation Knight, a bulk of the work. Cook's signing moves all three backs down the depth chart. Last year, Cook played in all 17 games running 264 times for 1,173 yards and 8 TDs while adding 39 catches for 295 yards and two TDs.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor on Joe Burrow: Calf strain. It’ll take several weeks.

Related Players: Trevor Siemian, Jake Browning

Burrow suffered the injury yesterday while rolling to his right with no one around him when he pulled up. He went directly to the ground and didn't get up until the cart approached. Calf strain is the best possible scenario, but this timeline also puts him up against a Week 1 start. There's a chance we see a free-agent signing to compete in a camp battle, which isn't the greatest news for the Bengals' offense as a whole. We'll keep an eye on the situation for further developments.

Joe Burrow pulled up with a non-contact lower leg injury during today's Bengals practice and was carted off the field.

Burrow suffered the injury while rolling to his right with no one around him when he pulled up. He went directly to the ground and didn't get up until the cart approached. It's unknown the severity of the injury but the quarterback tore his left ACL and MCL during the 2020 season that put him on IR from Week 11-on.

Running back Dalvin Cook is flying to New York today for a visit with the Jets this weekend, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Thursday, per sources informed of the situation.

Since Cook's release from Minnesota, the Jets have been one club rumored to be interested in the four-time Pro Bowl running back. It's a logical pairing, given that Gang Green's top back, Breece Hall, is coming off an ACL tear and on the physically unable to perform list, and the team's all in following the Rodgers trade.

This signing would be a huge hit to Hall's fantasy outlook for 2023, even if he remains the clear "1" in the 1-2 punch. Michael Carter was once an interesting late-round dart, but those days would also be numbered. This visit is also on the heels of Aaron Rodgers restructuring his deal with the Jets to allow them more room to bolster the roster around him, further strengthening the odds that the team can make the signing work.

The New York Jets are trading Mims and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Detroit Lions for a conditional 2025 sixth-round pick, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported on Wednesday night. The condition on the pick swap is that Mims makes Detroit's 53-man roster, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported on Thursday.

Related Players: Corey Davis, Randall Cobb, Mecole Hardman, Marvin Jones, Kalif Raymond

The impact in the fantasy world is likely slight, if at all, but Mims can be on Dyntasy radars for those looking to get a cheap former second-rounder. This trade could very well lock Corey Davis into a roster spot which makes him similarly watchable.
