Braelon Allen injury update: Latest news on Jets RB's status in Week 4 game image

The New York Jets have an early injury concern with running back Braelon Allen in the Week 4 game against the Miami Dolphins.

Allen suffered his injury in the second quarter while returning a kickoff. Another shining example of why teams shouldn't put players who are any semblance of contributors on offense back for kickoffs.

Prior to his exit, Allen was having a strong night with four carries for 26 yards. Isaiah Davis will take over as the backup to Breece Hall as long as Allen is sidelined.

Here's what we know about Allen's status.

UPDATE: Allen has already been ruled out with a knee injury. That is not a good sign.

END OF UPDATE

UPDATE: Allen was spotted walking to the locker room, and very slowly, as he's clearly hampered by his injury.

Still no update from the team, though.

END OF UPDATE

Allen walked off the field very gingerly. It was clear he took a bad hit on his left knee, although the exact injury hasn't been confirmed. Allen is being looked at in the tent.

We'll update this page when more information is available.
