The New York Jets released their first official injury report of the 2026 regular season on Wednesday afternoon, and the headline is the one the offense needed: Breece Hall was listed as a full participant ahead of Sunday’s opener at Tennessee.
The short version: Breece Hall (groin) and Kenyon Sadiq (groin) were listed as full participants on the Jets’ Wednesday Week 1 injury report. Joseph Ossai (foot) and Tim Patrick (groin) did not participate, and D’Angelo Ponds (calf) was limited. No game statuses have been assigned yet.
Is Breece Hall going to play against the Titans?
Nothing is official yet, but every signal points that way. Hall carried a full-participation designation on Wednesday, and head coach Aaron Glenn said on September 8 that his lead back was “trending towards playing” in Week 1. That is a marked change from late August, when Hall’s groin strain was expected to cost him two to three weeks. Game statuses — Out, Doubtful or Questionable — are not assigned until the Friday report.
What the Wednesday report actually said
Six players appear on the Jets’ side of the Week 1 report:
| Player | Pos. | Injury | Wed. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joseph Ossai | EDGE | Foot | DNP |
| Tim Patrick | WR | Groin | DNP |
| D’Angelo Ponds | CB | Calf | LP |
| Isaiah Davis | RB | Knee | FP |
| Breece Hall | RB | Groin | FP |
| Kenyon Sadiq | TE | Groin | FP |
Read Wednesday’s designations carefully — the Jets did not practice
This is the part that gets misread every September. The Jets did not hold a practice on Wednesday, and the team says plainly on the report that Wednesday’s participation levels are an estimation of what each player would have done. Glenn had already flagged the off day, saying the team would return to the field Thursday. An estimated full participation is a real signal about how the staff sees a player, but it is not the same as watching him take a full workload.
Who else the Jets are managing
Ossai’s foot injury is the one with the longest runway. The team described him as week-to-week on September 2, and he did not participate Tuesday or on Wednesday’s estimate. Tim Patrick’s groin injury is the newest name on the list. Ponds, a rookie corner working back from a calf strain, was limited and had been doing individual work during the open portion of Tuesday’s session alongside Kenyon Sadiq.
One detail worth flagging: the official report lists Sadiq with a groin injury, while the team’s own practice notes a day earlier referred to a hernia. We are reporting the designation as the official document states it, and will follow the Friday report.
What happens between now and Sunday
Thursday’s report is the first based on an actual practice, and Friday’s carries the game statuses that decide availability. Until then, treat Wednesday as a directional read. Full participation on a Wednesday estimate has a way of becoming “questionable” by Friday if a player has a setback in a real session. Current statuses for the whole roster are tracked on our Jets injury report hub, and Hall’s usage history sits on his player page. Kickoff from Nissan Stadium is 1:00 PM ET Sunday — the full slate is on the 2026 Jets schedule.
