"FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets running back Braelon Allen, a key component in the team's third-ranked rushing offense, will be sidelined indefinitely with what was described by coach Aaron Glenn as "a pretty serious knee injury." Allen appears headed to injured reserve, meaning he'd miss at least four games, but the Jets haven't made that official. They're waiting on the outcome of a second opinion, according to Glenn."
"Allen, seen Wednesday on crutches in the locker room, is the Jets' third-leading rusher (76 yards on 18 carries) and their top short-yardage back. He also returns kickoffs. Before the injury, Allen played a key role in the game. He rushed four times for 29 yards on the Jets' opening drive, but the fourth carry was a fumble at the Miami 1-yard line."
Braelon Allen suffered what coach Aaron Glenn called a pretty serious knee injury and appears headed to injured reserve. The injury reportedly is a sprained MCL sustained on a kickoff return in Monday night's 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Allen was seen on crutches and would miss at least four games if placed on IR while the team awaits a second opinion. Allen is the Jets' third-leading rusher (76 yards on 18 carries), the primary short-yardage back and a kickoff returner. Isaiah Davis is expected to expand into the primary backup role, with Kene Nwangwu listed day-to-day.
