Jets' Omar Cooper: Sidelined in practice as expected
Cooper (ankle) didn't practice Thursday after also missing Wednesdays practice.
Cooper's inability to practice is no surprise considering he's expected to miss multiple weeks due to an ankle sprain he sustained in the Jets' Week 1 win over the Titans. Prior to getting hurt in the first quarter of his NFL debut, the rookie first-round pick had a 30-yard catch and run. Expect Cooper to be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers when the Jets release game statuses Friday.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Considered week-to-week
Cooper (ankle) is "week-to-week," and the hope is he returns "within the next four weeks," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Cooper underwent an MRI after spraining his ankle in Sunday's victory over the Titans, and per the report he received "positive news" and could be back at some point in the next month. Isaiah Williams picked up the bulk of the work in Cooper's place in Week 1, and he figures to see extra snaps until the rookie first-round pick is ready to return.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Reportedly has ankle sprain
Cooper is dealing with an ankle sprain after exiting in the first quarter of Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Cooper was ruled out due to an ankle injury after the opening drive, during which the rookie first-round pick contributed a 30-yard catch. X-rays on the injury came back negative Sunday, but Cooper is set for an MRI on his sprained ankle, which should help clarify his potential return timeline. Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports that Cooper is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, which is typically associated with a multi-week recovery period.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Debut ends early with ankle injury
The Jets ruled out Cooper (ankle) for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Titans.
The rookie first-round pick had been listed as questionable to return after injuring his ankle on the Jets' opening drive, shortly after he gained 30 yards on his first NFL reception to set up a touchdown. The Jets should shed more light on the severity of his injury following the game, but for the time being, Cooper's availability for a Week 2 game against the Packers is uncertain.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Tweaks ankle, uncertain to return
Cooper sustained an ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Titans and is questionable to return.
Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, the rookie first-round pick opened the game as the Jets' starting slot receiver and made an instant impact on the first drive, breaking free for a 30-yard catch and run that set up a Kenyon Sadiq touchdown run. Cooper may have tweaked his ankle on that play, however, as his availability for the remainder of Week 1 is now in question.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Listed as second-teamer on depth chart
Cooper is listed as a backup wide receiver on the Jets' unofficial depth chart.
Cooper served as one of QB Fernando Mendoza's top targets at Indiana last season, finishing with a 69-937-13 line in 16 games. After turning in a 4.42 40 time at the NFL Combine, his prospect profile was enough for the Jets to use the 30th overall pick on him in the 2026 NFL Draft. Joining a receiving corps already boasting Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell, Cooper wasn't destined for more than the No. 3 WR role in the offense, but he worked behind even Isaiah Williams in three-wide sets during training camp, and his current depth-chart slotting indicates he still has work to do to earn significant reps in New York's passing game.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Remains outside team's top-three WRs
Cooper caught his only target for nine yards in Friday's 17-0 preseason win over the Steelers.
Cooper's lone catch came on a pass from fellow rookie Cade Klubnik in the two-minute drill to end the first half, with the Jets' second-string offense in the game. The rookie first-round pick out of Indiana has yet to work his way ahead of slot receiver Isaiah Williams, while Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell appear entrenched as the team's top two wide receivers until further notice. Cooper's likely to feature in next Friday's preseason finale against the Giants, even if the Jets rest their veteran starters.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Two catches in NFL debut
Cooper caught two of three targets for 31 yards in Friday's 24-16 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.
Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and Isaiah Williams got into the game before Cooper at wide receiver, though Cooper promptly made his first catch of the game on the first play of the Jets' second drive. Cooper is expected to work his way ahead of Williams at some point, but the rookie first-round pick out of Indiana will need to earn his starting spot. Cooper will likely remain involved during the Jets' second preseason game, next Friday against the Steelers.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Listed behind returnees on depth chart
Cooper is listed behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchellon the Jets' initial unofficial depth chart, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
Preseason depth charts can often be taken with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to rookies, and it's not especially surprising to see Cooper listed behind a pair of returnees. In any case, the 2026 first-rounder figures to see his share of snaps out of the gate this season in three-receiver sets, with the Indiana product's fantasy upside hinging on how quickly and how well he and veteran QB Geno Smith build their on-field chemistry.
