Omar Cooper Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

To be placed on injured reserve The Jets are expected to place Cooper (ankle) on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact 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.

Ruled out for Week 2 Cooper (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Packers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Sidelined in practice as expected Cooper (ankle) didn't practice Thursday after also missing Wednesdays practice.

Impact 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.
