I think there are certain players who benefit from work in training camp and the preseason. Hall probably isn't among them. As an established veteran, I doubt he needs a lot of work to be ready for the regular season. And the running back position is one when for the most part you take a handoff and make a play. Of course there is a degree of technique involved, but it is less complex than say a wide receiver releasing off the line of scrimmage against press coverage and running a crisp route. If anything, I worry about wear and tear if a back receives too many snaps in meaningless exhibition games.
The big thing for Hall is to get ready for the opener because the Jets will need him.
