Dalvin Cook is arriving soon and Breece Hall is practicing again after a long layoff, creating a first-class problem for the backfield-heavy New York Jets.

“There’s only one football,” offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said Tuesday. “You always want everybody to want the ball at all times, and I think we have a lot of people that want the ball and deserve the ball.”

Less than 24 hours after agreeing to terms with Cook, the Jets welcomed back Hall, who was activated from the physically unable to perform list. Their 2022 leading rusher, 10 months removed from ACL surgery, didn’t do much in his first practice — just light individual drills. The Jets are “very confident” he will be ready for Week 1, though, according to coach Robert Saleh.

    Jets probably have the best all around RB room in the NFL with Breece, Dalvin, Michael Carter, and Zonovan Knight was good last year too, and Abanikanda is a promising 5th round rookie.

    Man it’s crazy they got Cook if the legitimately think Hall will play week 1. I guess if you have the cap space, it can’t hurt.
