Decides to retire
Cohen informed the Jets on Thursday that he's retiring from football, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact
The 29-year-old last played in a game Week 3 of 2020, when he suffered an ACL tear that cost him the rest of that season and all of the next one. He suffered an Achilles' tear in spring of 2022 and spent most of 2023 with Carolina's practice squad, but reports out of Jets training camp this summer suggested Cohen had regained some of his old explosiveness and was a viable candidate for return work. Xavier Gipson remains the most likely Jet to make an impact there, and Cohen may have sensed that he was unlikely to earn a roster spot as a backup return specialist without much value on offense. Whatever the case, he's retiring after a week of training camp practices.

Goes to practice squad injured list
Carolina placed Cohen (hamstring) on its practice squad injured list Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact
The transaction means Cohen won't be able to play in at least Carolina's next four games. If he is going to suit up in 2023, the soonest possible game would now be in Week 14 at New Orleans.

Misses 2021 season
Cohen never saw the field for the Bears in 2021, as he was recovering from a knee injury suffered in 2020.
Impact
Although the team was hopeful to have Cohen back to start the 2021 season, setbacks he suffered along the way led to him requiring an additional surgery, and he never returned to action. He's signed through 2023, and if he's healthy coming into the 2022 season, his salary over the next two seasons could make him difficult to keep him off of the active roster. Unless he proves to be fully healthy and ready to resume a prominent pass-catching role, he'll likely go unselected in many 2022 fantasy drafts.

Rehabbing after setbacks
Coach Matt Nagy didn't sound optimistic when asked about a potential 2021 return for Cohen, who has suffered setbacks in his recovery from a torn ACL, even requiring additional sur...
Impact
Nagy also said Cohen has stuck around the team facility and remained aggressive in his rehab effort, though it may not pay off for him this season given the need for a second surgery. Cohen is now about 14 months removed from the initial ACL injury, suffered Week 3 of 2020.
