Primed for key role sans Wilson Cooper and Adonai Mitchell will be the Jets' top wide receivers with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable for Sunday's game at Kansas City, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.

Impact After back-to-back 100-yard games in his first two weeks off injured reserve, Cooper ran 26 routes last week without registering a target in the 38-33 loss to Las Vegas. Mitchell caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown, also running 26 routes, and Cimini's report notes that Mitchell "will become the No. 1 receiver" in Wilson's absence. Both Mitchell and Cooper figure to get plenty of snaps and routes, but targets and production aren't as assured.

No targets in Week 8 Cooper did not garner a target during Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Cooper entered Week 8 having topped 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in back-to-back games, so Sunday's performance was especially disappointing. The rookie wideout was overshadowed by Adonai Mitchell (7-142-1) and Garrett Wilson (6-83-0) in the game, and it'll be hard to predict his workload ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup with the Chiefs.

WR Omar Cooper Jr.'s Best Plays from His 115-Yard Game vs. Dolphins Watch all the best plays by Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. during his 115-yard performance against the Dolphins in Week 7.

OCTOBER 25 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Two long catches and TD in Week 7 Cooper caught all five of his targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Cooper topped 100 receiving yards with a TD for the second time in as many games since returning from an ankle injury sustained in his regular-season debut. The rookie 30th overall pick had a 52-yard catch in the first quarter and a 60-yard catch in the third, then added a three-yard touchdown reception three plays after the second long catch. Cooper has been a big-play machine when healthy, and he'll look to build on his strong start in Week 8 against the Raiders.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Could be set for lesser role Cooper may get fewer looks in the passing game Sunday versus Miami with Adonai Mitchell cleared to return from a finger injury, Amanda Vogt of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Cooper shined in his return from IR this past Sunday against New England, catching six of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown. That performance will likely gain him more attention from QB Geno Smith moving forward, but it must also be noted that Cooper's big game came in the absence of Mitchell, who is set to return Sunday following a four-game absence. Both Cooper and Mitchell are likely to remain behind Garrett Wilson in the pecking order, but it will be interesting to see if either Cooper or Mitchell is able to separate himself as the team's No. 2 wideout.

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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to action Week 6 Cooper (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IR Cooper (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Impact 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).

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

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 reports.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 6 Cooper (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New England.

Impact 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 WR Omar Cooper Jr. coming off IR, TE Kenyon Sadiq back from concussion for banged-up offense

The New York Jets will activate rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. from the injured reserve list and give a boost to a banged-up offense against New England on Sunday

OCTOBER 16 • Associated Press

Will practice fully Friday Cooper (ankle) will be a full participant in Friday's practice, according to the Jets' official X account.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Stays limited in practice Cooper (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return to practice Cooper (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact With Cooper now cleared to resume practicing, the Jets can begin evaluating his progress toward a return to game action. His activation would add another option to New York's receiving corps after his ankle injury sidelined him early in the season.
