In 2022, Hallett began the first 12 games on the inured list as he rehabilitated his knee injury that he suffered from the previous year.[7] He played in two regular season games where he had two special teams tackles.[4] On May 13, 2023, Hallett was released by the Blue Bombers after failing a physical examination.[9][8] Hallett returned to the Bombers on October 17, 2023, but did not play in a regular season game.[8] He re-signed with the team on February 1, 2024.[10]
