Cole caught his only target for a 16-yard gain in Saturday's 12-7 preseason win over the Giants.
Cole's catch came on a pass thrown by starting quarterback Zach Wilson. The Jets' receiver deployment throughout Wilson's two drives in the game suggest Cole's currently rotating with Vyncint Smith as a starter on the outside opposite Corey Davis, though rookie Elijah Moore (quadriceps) may be ahead of both Cole and Smith in the competition for that spot. The Jets' wide receiver rotation will be worth monitoring when they face the Packers in Week 2 of preseason.
