Cole is set to see an expanded role in the Jets' offense in Sunday's matchup against the Saints after Elijah Moore (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Moore will be sidelined for at least three next three games, while the Jets' No. 1 receiver to open 2021, Corey Davis (groin), will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season. The absences of Moore and Davis leaves Jamison Crowder as the only healthy starting receiver, so both he and Cole should be in store for elevated profiles in the passing attack. In 10 games this season, Cole has reached five targets only three times and topped 50 yards in a game only twice.
