Jets' Malachi Corley: Tosses ball away to negate TD
Malachi Corley rushed once for 18 yards and lost a fumble in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.Corley's first NFL carry was memorable for a different reason than he would have liked, as he got into the open field and raced into the end zone but flipped the ball out of his hand as he was crossing the goal line, and a review revealed that the ball left his hand prior to crossing the goal line. It then rolled out of the back of the end zone for a touchback. The 2024 third-round draft pick has just one target in his NFL career, and while Corley showed some promising ability in the open field on his lone touch Thursday, careless mental errors won't ingratiate him with the New York Jets' coaching staff.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Active for Week 8
Malachi Corley is not among the New York Jets' inactives for their battle against New England on Sunday, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.Corley was a healthy scratch three straight games coming into Week 8, but he'll be available to play against the Patriots. The rookie's active status comes as veteran wideout Allen Lazard is inactive due to a chest injury. Corley has just one catch on one target for four yards in only two offensive snaps over the three regular-season games he's participated in thus far, so he's unlikely to see much action Sunday.

Malachi Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Randy Lange of the New York Jets' official site reports.The rookie third-round pick out of Western Kentucky had been active for each of the Jets' first four games, but he played just three total snaps (two on offense, one on special teams) in Weeks 1 through 3, and he didn't see the field at all in the Week 4 loss to the Broncos.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Makes first NFL catch

Jets' Malachi Corley: Quiet in preseason finale
Malachi Corley recorded one catch on three targets for five yards in Saturday's 10-6 preseason win over the Giants.Corley played for the entire first half and appeared regularly in 11 personnel. His play remained inconsistent, as he was called for a holding penalty on the team's first drive and also had a reception reversed for failing to complete the process of the catch. Given his status as a third-round pick, Corley's roster spot should be safe. However, his ability to contribute immediately offensively is far less clear.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Two catches against Panthers
Malachi Corley recorded two receptions (on two targets) for 10 yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason win over the Panthers.The New York Jets sat all of their projected starters, leaving Corley to catch the team's first pass of the game from Andrew Peasley. Corley has had a solid exhibition season, tallying six catches for 37 yards while also working as one of the team's kick returners. Special teams could be the primary path for him to find the field at the start of the regular season, though Corley could challenge Xavier Gipson for snaps in the slot as the campaign progresses.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Four catches in NFL debut
Malachi Corley caught four of five targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 20-17 preseason win over the Commanders. He also had a 33-yard kickoff return and one punt return for no gain.Corley caught the only completion quarterback Tyrod Taylor had in his two drives to start the game, and the 2024 third-round pick stayed in for the remainder of the first half after Andrew Peasley checked in under center. The rookie wide receiver's route running needs refinement, but Corley's a handful to bring down with the ball in his hands, so the New York Jets tried to give him opportunities in space Saturday on both offense and special teams. Corley may not get a chance to work with starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a game situation during the preseason, as Taylor will most likely start again in next Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers.
