Jets WR Omar Cooper (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. That’ll leave Isaiah Williams as the primary slot receiver and likely push more targets to WRs Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell.

Jets WR Omar Cooper is considered "week to week" with the ankle sprain he suffered in the opener, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The "hope" is that Cooper is able to return within 4 weeks, Rapoport adds.

Jets WR Omar Cooper sprained an ankle in Sunday's win over the Titans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. X-rays came back clean, and Cooper is scheduled for an MRI. HC Aaron Glenn said afterward that he's not worried about the severity of the injury. Cooper could still miss multiple weeks, but he dodged something more serious. The rookie caught his only target for 30 yards before exiting

Jets WR Omar Cooper is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Titans with an ankle injury. The rookie caught his only target for 30 yards before exiting. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Cooper has been ruled out.

It was a tough summer for Jets WR Omar Cooper. He was largely quiet in camp and preseason action and even fell behind WR Isaiah Williams on the depth chart at one point. But The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that Cooper "came on strong at the end of camp."

We covered earlier this week how Jets rookie Omar Cooper Jr. might be in danger of Isaiah Williams passing him on the depth chart. Friday's preseason opener turned that into reality. Cooper played zero snaps with the starting offense, while Williams played seven of the 11 and ran five routes. That put him narrowly behind top-two WRs Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. They each played all 11 snaps and ran seven routes.

Jets WR Omar Cooper has had a quiet start to training camp by most accounts. ESPN's Rich Cimini even suggested on Tuesday that WR Isaiah Williams could pass Cooper on the depth chart. WR coach Shawn Jefferson said Cooper has experienced "little pitfalls ... That's part of being a rookie."

Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq took the field Wednesday for the start of training camp, confirming that he and the team appropriately timed his "minor procedure" to address a hernia. The issue had lingered since Sadiq's final college season, and HC Aaron Glenn said back in May that they expected the rookie to be ready for training camp.

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt calls WR Adonai Mitchell one of the Jets' "biggest stars" so far this offseason. Mitchell has drawn praise from other media members, as well as teammates and coaches.

The New York Jets selected Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. with the 30th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. A four-star recruit, Cooper turned potential into production in 2024. He caught 28 passes for 594 yards and 7 TDs while leading the Big Ten in yards per reception at 21.2. Cooper led the 2025 Hoosiers with 69 receptions, 937 yards, and 13 TDs alongside breakout QB Fernando Mendoza. He shifted into the slot after spending the previous two seasons primarily outside, leading to a lower average depth of target (9.7 yards vs. 16.0 and 15.1). Cooper excelled after the catch, forcing a missed tackle on nearly 40% of his receptions.
