The Jets are placing rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper on injured reserve with an ankle injury, meaning he will miss at least four games after suffering the injury in last Sunday's win over the Titans. The move comes ahead of Sunday’s game vs Packers, and the Jets signed veteran Sterling Shepard to the practice squad, who could join Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams, and Arian Smith as targets while Cooper is out.
Two Jets starters—WR Omar Cooper (ankle sprain, week-to-week) and S Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin, 2–3 weeks)—miss time in Week 1 but avoid IR, keeping hope they return sooner rather than later.
Garrett Wilson looked like his old self with two third-down catches in the Jets’ 24-16 preseason loss to the Buccaneers, Isaiah Williams moved ahead of Omar Cooper on the receiver depth chart, and the early safety competition between Andre Cisco and Dane Belton began with Cisco starting and remaining on the field as backups entered.
Geno Smith is reportedly pushing the Jets to throw deeper during training camp, challenging defenses at all levels to open up quick underneath throws, with Jets tight ends and rookie wideout Omar Cooper serving as primary short-range targets as Smith aims to rebound from last season.
San Francisco's mock draft envisions Omar Cooper at 27 to fill Deebo Samuel's void, followed by edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton in Round 2, and four additional Round 4 picks (DT Chris McClellan, TE Jack Endries, CB Charles Demmings, OT J.C. Davis) to bolster defense, receiver depth, and offensive line development.
The Eagles’ 2026 draft visit tracker rolls on at the JeffPlex with up to 30 private pre-draft visits; the latest visitor is Indiana WR Omar Cooper (6'0", 199) who had a 69-catch, 937-yard, 13-TD season and posted 21.2 YPC on 28 receptions in 2024, showcasing versatility to line up outside or in the slot and drawing a projected second-round grade. PhillyVoice will continue updating the list and adding analysis as more prospects visit.
