Conley (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
The Jets will keep five receivers active ahead of Corley, who will be a healthy scratch for the second week in a row. The third-round pick out of Western Kentucky has been a major disappointment during his rookie season, having played just 80 snaps on offense while being inactive for six of the Jets' first 14 games in coach's decisions.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Healthy scratch for Week 14
Rotowire
Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Despite playing a season-high 38 snaps on offense against the Seahawks in Week 13, the decision to have Corley inactive Sunday is in large part due to the Jets activating Allen Lazard off injured reserve Saturday. The Jets have opted for Xavier Gipson and Irvin Charles as their depth wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Lazard. Corley's next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Does little with decent snap share
Rotowire
Corley didn't catch either of his two targets and added an eight-yard run in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.
Corley played 41 snaps on offense (60 percent) to Xavier Gipson's 19, suggesting that the rookie third-round pick has become the Jets' preferred option in the slot for the stretch run. While the increased playing time is encouraging, Corley has yet to capitalize. He has just 42 career scrimmage yards, and Corley's most notable play to date was an 18-yard run on which he celebrated prematurely and threw the ball away just before crossing the goal line back in Week 9.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Good to go for Week 13
Rotowire
Corley (illness) does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Corley missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness, but he was a full participant in the last two sessions of the week and will be able to play Sunday. The rookie third-rounder will continue to serve as the Jets' No. 4 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Xavier Gipson.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Appears past illness
Rotowire
Corley (illness) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Corley popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to an illness, but it appears the rookie third-round wide receiver is no longer under the weather. Corley has logged two catches (on three targets) for 12 yards over the Jets' last two regular-season games.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Active for Week 8
Rotowire
Corley is not among the 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.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Inactive again Sunday
Rotowire
Corley (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday night's contest against the Steelers.
Corley will be a healthy scratch for the third game in a row as he remains buried on the Jets' depth chart. With the addition of Davante Adams via trade from the Raiders, Corley appears unlikely to make much of an impact with New York in the near future.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Healthy inactive for Week 5
Rotowire
Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Randy Lange of the 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. Corley will now find himself on the inactive list for the first time all season while the Jets have five wide receivers suit up ahead of him.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Makes first NFL catch
Rotowire
Corley caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
For a second consecutive week, Corley was on the field for only one snap, but he was targeted on that play this time, resulting in his first NFL catch. The rookie third-round draft pick isn't seeing the field enough to be an impact player at this stage of his career, and Corley's unlikely to see a significant increase in usage Thursday against the Patriots.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Two catches against Panthers
Rotowire
Corley recorded two receptions (on two targets) for 10 yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason win over the Panthers.
The 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
Rotowire
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 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.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Signs rookie contract
Rotowire
The Jets signed Corley to a four-year, $6.073 million rookie contract Friday that includes a $1.237 million signing bonus, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
New York selected Corley in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and he'll have a chance to compete for a key role among the team's receiver corps during his rookie campaign. Corley exited a practice during OTAs in late May due to a lower-body injury but should be a full-go for training camp.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Exits practice early
Rotowire
Corley left Wednesday's practice early with an undisclosed lower-body injury and returned without a helmet, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Hughes notes that Corley walked with a limp after the incident, giving another hint that the rookie won't return to practice Wednesday. The injury doesn't sound especially serious, as a player typically would stay inside rather than joining his teammates to watch the rest of practice if there were concern about a major health issue. With Mike Williams (knee) unavailable for offseason practices, the Jets seem to have a wide-open depth chart at receiver behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson. Coming in as a third-round pick, Corley should get some first-team reps and may eventually win a role as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Wilson and Williams. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers apparently is a fan, having recently said that Corley was his favorite wide receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
