Jets Rookie Omar Cooper Jr. Set to Play vs. Patriots as Hall and Mitchell Remain Out

Rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. will be activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game against New England after recovering from a high ankle sprain.

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. will return for Sunday's road game against the New England Patriots after being sidelined by a high ankle sprain since the first drive of the season opener. Cooper, a first-round pick who recorded a 30-yard reception against the Tennessee Titans in his four-snap NFL debut, was a full participant in Friday's practice. Coach Aaron Glenn confirmed the receiver will be activated from injured reserve to bolster an offense that currently features Garrett Wilson’s team-high 31 receptions.

Running back Breece Hall will miss his third consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury, leaving Braelon Allen to lead the backfield following his 116-yard rushing performance against the Cleveland Browns. Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is also ruled out for his fourth straight contest as he recovers from a surgical procedure on his right hand. Additionally, left guard Dylan Parham will miss his third straight game with a knee injury.

On the defensive side, edge rusher Joseph Ossai is ruled out with an ankle injury, marking his third missed game since signing a three-year, $34.5 million contract. Rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq practiced fully on Friday and is finishing concussion protocol after exiting last week's home victory. The 2-3 Jets currently have one open roster spot heading into the matchup.
