The New York Jetsare only days away from opening the regular season in Nashville. One of the biggest questions entering Week 1 revolves around player availability.
As the team continues preparations for Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans
, head coach Aaron Glenn provided updates on two notable starters before an afternoon practice. One update was encouraging. The other wasn't as positive.Breece Hall appears on track for Week 1
Hall's status has been worth monitoring since the running back suffered a groin injury during training camp. The Jets have been cautious with one of the most important players on their offense, but Glenn sounded optimistic when asked about Hall's availability for the season opener.
"He's trending towards playing," Glenn said. "He'll be practicing this
week."

The update is significant for a Jets offense that is expected to lean heavily on Hall's versatility. Beyond his ability as a ball carrier, Hall remains one of the team's most dangerous weapons in the passing game and a player capable of changing a game with a single touch.
Getting him back on the practice field this week is another positive step toward having the offense at full strength when New York takes the field Sunday.
Joseph Ossai timeline remains uncertain
The news wasn't nearly as positive for Ossai. When asked about the veteran edge rusher, Glenn said Ossai is considered week-to-week as he continues to deal with a foot injury.

While Glenn didn't provide a more detailed timeline, the designation casts doubt on Ossai's availability for Week 1 and potentially beyond. The Jets added Ossai to help bolster the pass rush rotation, and his absence would place additional pressure on the rest of the edge group as the regular season begins.
Injuries and availability will continue to be monitored throughout the week, but the Jets remain focused on the task ahead. New York will travel to Tennessee for a season opener that carries no shortage of storylines, including Robert Saleh facing the franchise he coached from 2021-24.
