he was seen even more stronger and healthier than ever

The Jets could have featured a rare intrasquad Offensive Rookie of the Year race, but Hall’s October ACL tear left eventual OROY Garrett Wilson alone in that effort. Before he went down, the second-round pick looked like a game-changing running back. Normally a 1 p.m. staple, the Jets now have a schedule flooded with Aaron Rodgers-driven primetime cameos. Hall’s recovery, then, will generate more attention than it otherwise would have. The Iowa State product will be a key part of the Jets’ first Rodgers offense. With a sizable skill gap between Hall and his backups, the Jets need their starter to stabilize their run game.

Harpooned by injuries on a Chargerian level over the past two seasons, the Titans played all of 2022 without their top edge rusher. Landry suffered a torn ACL in practice days before Week 1, opening the floodgates for another malady-riddled Tennessee slate. Player unavailability represented one of the factors the Titans fired GM Jon Robinson. Landry was one of Robinson’s top moves, going from second-round pick to the team’s outside linebacker cornerstone. As other moves (Cam Wake, Vic Beasley, Robinson. Landry, Bud Dupree) failed, Landry kept the setup afloat. He will resume his career under a new regime.

Miller’s Thanksgiving knee injury was not initially believed to be an ACL tear; the future Hall of Fame pass rusher expected to return late last season. But a rare exploratory surgery revealed a tear. This both ended Miller’s season and changed the Bills’ trajectory. Absent their star sack artist during a rough season on the injury front, the Bills struggled down the stretch. Their homegrown defensive ends could not produce much without Miller (eight sacks in 10 full games) leading the way. Buffalo did not make a notable D-end addition this offseason. Miller, now 34, will be expected to recover from a second career ACL tear and pick up where he left off.

Murray took a step back down from his Pro Bowl level, and his December ACL tear provided the final touch for a freefalling team to make sweeping changes. The oft-criticized QB is likely to spend part of this season on the sidelines, as the Cardinals have made their rebuild intentions clear. Murray’s talent may interfere with this mission, one that could involve two top-five picks in 2024. The Cards have perhaps the NFL’s worst roster, and the regime that drafted Murray is gone. Some big-picture decisions will need to be made involving the former No. 1 overall pick soon, providing a reason to follow a potentially dreadful Cardinals team.
