What happened: New York enters Week 8 on a two-game skid following a 28-25 loss to Miami on Oct. 25, putting the front office's trade deadline approach for Breece Hall in focus. After being labeled week-to-week in late September, the running back was ruled out against Chicago on Oct. 2 and Cleveland on Oct. 9 before missing last Sunday's contest.

Why it matters: Sitting 11th in the AFC standings, the Jets already hold two 2027 first-round picks, including an Indianapolis selection currently slotted at No. 7 overall, as they eye a 2027 quarterback. How New York handles the 2022 second-round pick (36th overall out of Iowa State) at the deadline will signal whether the franchise views him as part of that next core or a tradeable piece.

What to watch: Monitor New York's Week 8 practice participation updates to see if Hall progresses from his questionable designation ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
