Jets' Omar Cooper: Paces air attack in return
Cooper brought in six of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Making his return from a four-game stint on injured reserve due to an ankle sprain suffered on the opening possession of the season, Cooper hit the ground running and finished as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The Indiana product also recorded his first NFL touchdown on a 48-yard strike from Geno Smith early in the third quarter, and his instant production despite the layoff gives his fantasy outlook a significant boost heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the Dolphins.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Returning to action Week 6
Cooper (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Cooper will suit up for the first time since Week 1, when he sustained a high-ankle sprain on the Jets' first offensive possession of the season in an eventual win over the Titans. The rookie first-round pick out of Indiana returned to practice this week, turning in a pair of limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday and getting activated from injured reserve Saturday. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) out for another week, Cooper could potentially settle in as the Jets' No. 2 receiver Sunday, pushing Tim Patrick down a spot on the depth chart.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Activated from IR
Cooper (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Cooper is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but he's likely to be cleared to play given his activation from IR. The rookie fourth-rounder has missed the Jets' last four games due to an ankle injury, but he could be thrust into a prominent role offensively given the absence of Adonai Mitchell (finger).

Jets' Omar Cooper: Set to be activated off IR
Cooper (ankle) is being activated from injured reserve Saturday and is expected to be available for Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Patriots, Connor Hughes of SNY TV reports.
Cooper earned the questionable tag for Week 6 after logging a full practice Friday, and it looks like the rookie first-rounder will be back on the field after spending the last four weeks on injured reserve due to an ankle injury he sustained against the Titans in Week 1. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) sidelined, Cooper could slide into the Jets' WR2 role behind Garrett Wilson for Sunday's contest.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Questionable for Week 6
Cooper (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New England.
Cooper was a full practice participant Friday, upgrading from limited participation the previous two days. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll play, though the Jets definitely could use the help with Adonai Mitchell (finger) out for another week. They'll need to activate Cooper from injured reserve Friday or Saturday to have him available for Sunday's game against the Patriots at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Will practice fully Friday
Cooper (ankle) will be a full participant in Friday's practice, according to the Jets' official X account.
After logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, the rookie's upgrade to full participation is a positive step in his return from injured reserve. The Jets would need to activate Cooper on Friday or Saturday in order to have him available for Sunday's game at New England. It's not yet clear if the team intends to do that.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Stays limited in practice
Cooper (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Cooper had his reps capped for the second day in a row after the Jets designated him for return from injured reserve Wednesday. The Jets will have just under three weeks to reinstate Cooper, so the rookie wideout may need to upgrade to full participation in Friday's session to have a shot at suiting up this weekend versus the Patriots. Cooper recorded a 30-yard reception and played just five snaps before exiting his NFL debut Week 1 against the Titans in the first quarter due to a high-ankle sprain.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Limited in return to practice
Cooper (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
After being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, Cooper operated with a cap on his reps in his first practice since he exited the Jets' Week 1 win over the Titans due to a high-ankle sprain. The Jets haven't ruled out the possibility of the rookie first-round pick being activated from IR in advance of Sunday's game against the Patriots, but he'll likely need to practice fully Thursday and/or Friday to have a realistic chance at suiting up this weekend.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Making return to practice Wednesday
The Jets designated Cooper (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.
Cooper is slated to participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice in some capacity after the Jets opened his 21-day evaluation window. The rookie first-round pick -- who was deactivated after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in the Jets' Week 1 win over the Titans -- could have a chance at returning to action as soon as this Sunday at New England, depending on how he fares in practice this week. With the Jets classifying fellow wideout Adonai Mitchell (finger) as week-to-week, Cooper could have a chance at reclaiming a notable role in the receiving corps once he's activated from IR.

Jets' Omar Cooper: To be placed on injured reserve
The Jets are expected to place Cooper (ankle) on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Cooper suffered a sprained ankle early on in his pro debut this past Sunday at Tennessee that left him week-to-week. He predictably didn't practice during Week 2 prep and then was ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Once he's officially on injured reserve, Cooper will need to miss at least the next four games, at which point New York will be able to designate him for return from IR. In the meantime, Isaiah Williams figures to take on a bigger role behind Garrett Williams and Adonai Mitchell.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Officially on injured reserve
The Jets placed Cooper (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Amanda Vogt of the team's official site reports.
Cooper thus will miss at least the next four games after he suffered a sprained ankle in his pro debut this past Sunday in Tennessee. His next chance for game action will be a Week 6 road matchup with the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 18, and in the meantime, the Jets will operate with a receiving corps composed of Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Ruled out for Week 2
Cooper (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Packers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
It was reported earlier this week that Cooper was week-to-week with the ankle injury he sustained in Week 1, so it comes as little surprise that he will sit out his team's second game of the season. Isaiah Williams is the favorite to pick up extra snaps in Cooper's absence.

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.
