Jets | Breece Hall considered 'week-to-week' with quad injury after MRI Mon Sep 28, 02:54 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall is considered week-to-week with the quad injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Lions, ESPN's Adam Schefter also reported. Hall received good news after his MRI, as the injury is not as significant as feared.
| Footballguys view: Hall left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Lions and did not return. Braelon Allen becomes a priority waiver add with Hall out. He will be a viable starting option against the Bears in Week 4. |

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq caught 7 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 6.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq made a diving touchdown catch to open the scoring, and though he left the game briefly with an undisclosed injury, the rookie was a big part of the passing game for the rest of the contest with No.2 receiver Adonai Mitchell out with a finger injury for this game. Sadiq will be a hot waiver-wire pickup this week heading into a matchup with the Bears. |

Jets WR Garrett Wilson was cleared after being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Wilson was shaken up late in the game after catching 10 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Wilson was a strong WR1 play as expected with No.2 receiver Adonai Mitchell out and the Jets facing a thin Lions secondary. This news is as good as we could have hoped for after watching Wilson leave the game. Wilson should have a very high ceiling against the Bears next week as long as he is active. |

Jets QB Geno Smith has completed 25 of 30 passes for 280 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's game against the Lions.
| Footballguys view: He did this without his #2 receiver Adonai Mitchell and first round pick Omar Cooper Jr, although that might say more about the Lions pass defense (they face the Panthers next week) than the Jets pass offense breaking out. With Breece Hall probably missing multiple weeks, it's going to be more difficult for the Jets to generate offense, although they do face another vulnerable pass defense in Chicago next week. |

Jets RB Breece Hall was injured on a play in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Lions with 11:36 left. He was declared out with a thigh injury.
| Footballguys view: Braelon Allen becomes the lead back with Hall sidelined. Hall will probably miss time after being declared out so quickly. The Jets face Chicago next week, so Allen will be worth an RB2/flex look right off of the waiver wire. |
Breece Hall player page
The Jets will be without WR Adonai Mitchell and TE Mason Taylor for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Lions. WRs Omar Cooper Jr., Tim Patrick and Arian Smith are already on injured reserve. That leaves WR Garrett Wilson, three slot receivers and an undrafted rookie at wide receiver, putting rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq in position for a bigger role.
| Footballguys view: Wilson becomes an elite PPR WR1 this week, Sadiq a streamable tight end, and Isaiah Williams a PPR what-the-heck flex with the Jets also likely working in Breece Hall as a receiver more than usual this week. |
Adonai Mitchell player page
Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) is questionable for Sunday's Week 3 game at the Lions after being limited in practice for the second straight day on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was unexpectedly added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant. He showed up on Friday with his hand heavily taped up. He reportedly had his finger caught in a jersey, and the extent of the injury is still uncertain. If the tape job we saw on Friday is any indication of his availability this week, it's hard to imagine Mitchell out there. If he can't play, Isaiah Williams could get some extra run against his former team, the Lions. |

Jets TE Mason Taylor (thumb) will not play on Sunday against the Lions, head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday, September 25.
| Footballguys view: Taylor had negative two yards in Week 1. He was active in Week 2, but played less than half the snaps and didn't draw a single target. Taylor dealt with some injuries as a rookie and is getting off to a slow start in Year 2. He's off the fantasy radar in redraft leagues, and isn't much more than a deep dynasty stash right now. |
Mason Taylor player page
Jets WR Adonai Mitchell was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant due to a finger injury, his first appearance on the injury report for any reason this season. Mitchell has nine catches for 123 yards through two weeks. TE Mason Taylor (thumb), RB Kene Nwangwu (back), S Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad) all missed practice for the second straight day, while LBs Joseph Ossai (foot) and David Bailey (elbow) remained limited. Injury designations for Sunday's game at Detroit will be revealed on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was a full participant on Wednesday, and now he's getting a limited designation. Against the Lions on Sunday, Mitchell would be a WR3/flex option if he plays in Week 3. Mitchell caught 6-of-12 tarhets for 63 yards in the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Packers. |

The New York Jets placed three players on injured reserve on Tuesday and may also be without TE Mason Taylor for their Week 3 game against the Lions in Detroit. Taylor is reportedly considered week-to-week with a thumb injury.
| Footballguys view: Taylor was a "DNP" on Wednesday. While leading the Jets' tight ends in snaps, rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq is leading the team in targets at the position. If Taylor can't go, Sadiq becomes a better option for Fantasy GMs looking for some TE production. |
Mason Taylor player page
The Jets are placing WR Arian Smith on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: Smith, who suffered a knee injury in Sunday's game against the Packers, will be sidelined for at least the next four weeks as a result. With Tim Patrick and Omar Cooper Jr. already on IR, the Jets are thin at wideout. The team recently signed Sterling Shepherd to the practice squad, and he could be promoted to the active roster. |
Jets.com reports that QB Geno Smith and the Jets blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in a 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday, September 20, as Green Bay's Trey Smack hit a 26-yard field goal to win it. Smith completed 27-of-41 passes for 247 yards and a 5-yard touchdown to WR Garrett Wilson, but was sacked four times and hit ten times. RB Breece Hall caught five passes including a 43-yard gain, while the Jets' run game was held to just 67 yards on 27 carries as Green Bay stacked the box. "We had the game right in our hands, and we didn't finish," Smith said. "There's tons of room for improvement, but the time is now, so we got to get it done." HC Aaron Glenn said, "I trust Geno... I think Geno was doing a solid job." The Jets, now 1-1, next travel to face the Lions in Detroit.
| Footballguys view: Adonai Mitchell played a big role in the passing game in the silver lining for this offense in fantasy circles, but Breece Hall was vultured in the red zone by Braelon Allen, although his passing game contributions helped him from being a bust. The Packers offense recovered from their collapse against Carson Wentz in Week 1 and will get the Falcons on Thursday. Geno Smith and the Jets offense will get a favorable matchup against the reeling Lions defense next week. |

Yahoo Sports reports that Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. is set to miss several games with an ankle injury and will be placed on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: Initial reports indicated the team was hoping that Cooper could be back within four weeks. Now on IR, Cooper will be eligible to return in Week 6 against the Patriots. A Jets 2026 first-round pick, Cooper had already been ruled out for Week 2. He's got talent, and we love him in dynasty formats, but redraft GMs in deeper leagues have moved on for now. |
Omar Cooper Jr. player page
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Sterling Shepard has agreed to join the Jets' practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Shepard, 33, was last with the Texans during training camp. But he appeared in 13 games for the Buccaneers in 2025, catching 39 passes for 371 yards with one touchdown. Shepard is plenty used to playing home games at MetLife Stadium, as he spent his first eight seasons with the Giants. He caught 372 passes for 4,095 yards with 23 touchdowns for the club. With Omar Cooper Jr. considered week to week with an ankle injury, Shepard could wind up on the 53-man roster at some point soon. |

Jets first-round pick Omar Cooper Jr. appears set to miss some time after injuring his ankle in the team's Week 1 win over the Titans. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Cooper is considered week-to-week after an MRI showed he suffered a sprain.
| Footballguys view: Rapoport adds that the hope is that he is able to return within the next four weeks, which suggests that the wide receiver is not considered a candidate for injured reserve, as that move would rule him out for at least four games. Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams, and Arian Smith are the other wideouts on the Jets' 53-man roster. |
Omar Cooper Jr. player page
Jets S Minkah Fitzpatrick, who suffered a groin injury during Sunday's win over the Titans, is expected to miss 2-3 weeks.
| Footballguys view: As JetsXFactor.com noted, the defense did not miss Fitzpatrick after he went down just six snaps into his New York debut. They held the Titans to 10 points, 195 yards, and 11 first downs in a dominant performance. Andre Cisco filled in for Fitzpatrick after the former Dolphins and Steelers star went down. |
Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. left Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans in the first quarter with an ankle injury and never returned. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that X-rays of Cooper's ankle were negative and that he will have an MRI to evaluate further what appears to be a sprain.
| Footballguys view: For what it's worth, The Ringer's Tom Pelissero is reporting it as a high-ankle sprain. The MRI should show how long it will be until he'll be back to try for his second. |
Omar Cooper Jr. player page
Breece Hall rushed 22 times for 102 yards and a score in the 23-10 win at Tennessee. He also caught both of his targets for 16 yards.
| Footballguys view: The promise that Hall would be used as a true workhorse after the team paid him like one this offseason came true for at least one game. The Jets offense was vastly improved under new offensive coordinator Frank Reich with Geno Smith under center, although it could just be that the Titans defense isn't very good after they allowed a 19-play field goal drive during the game. In Week 2, the Jets will face the Packers coming off of a rough loss to Minnesota. |

Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. left the Week 1 game with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: He had a 30 yard catch to set up fellow first round rookie Kenyon Sadiq's rushing score before leaving the game. Isaiah Williams would replace Cooper in the slot if he can't go against Green Bay next week. |
Omar Cooper Jr. player page
Jets RB Breece Hall and rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq are good to go for Sunday's opener at Tennessee.
| Footballguys view: Despite missing some time during training camp with a groin injury, Hall was able to log an entire week of full practices and will be good to go for Week 1 against the Titans. While there's been some talk about a committee approach to the Jets' backfield, the team rewarded him with a $43.5M contract extension this offseason. Expect him to get the bulk of the touches, even if Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis come in for the occasional touch. Fire Hall up as the RB2 you drafted him to be. Sadiq's situation is a bit complicated. While it's encouraging that he was able to practice in full all week, his extended absence from training camp could put him behind schedule. Sadiq dealt with an offseason hernia and aggravated it during camp. Rookies who miss time in camp tend to get out of the gate slow, especially at a position as demanding as tight end. Sadiq can be stashed in deep leagues as a potential high-ceiling rookie, but it's hard to recommend him as a starter in Week 1 lineups. |

Rich Cimini, from ESPN, reports New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) said he is "good to go and can handle a full workload, if necessary."

RB Breece Hall (groin) will practice Tuesday and is trending toward playing Week 1 against Tennessee, coach Aaron Glenn said.
| Footballguys view: The star running back has been sidelined since straining his groin during practice at training camp on Aug. 17. Hall, the team's top running back coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season, was among a group of players Glenn mentioned recently as being "right on target of being ready for Week 1." That also included running back Isaiah Davis (knee) and rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq (hernia). The 25-year-old Hall is considered a key to New York's revamped offense under coordinator Frank Reich. We'll be watching his progress closely this week. |

New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik will be the backup quarterback to QB Geno Smith to start the season, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Klubnik, a fourth-round pick from Clemson, is the only backup on the 53-man roster. Geno Smith, 35, will start the season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Bailey Zappe, released Sunday, is expected to return to the practice squad. Ostensibly, Klubnik, Zappe, and Brady Cook competed for the No. 2 job, but it was clear from the outset that it was Klubnik's job to lose. The Jets believe Klubnik will benefit from being the No. 2 quarterback because of the extra practice reps. |
New York Jets DE Joseph Ossai (foot) is considered week-to-week because of his foot injury, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.

New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. and WR Isaiah Williams are 'engaged in a battle' for the No. 3 receiver job, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Cooper, a 2026 first-round pick out of Indiana, is known as a slot bully because of his run-after-the-catch ability. He needs to learn how to run the full route tree, but the potential is there for Cooper to be a dangerous playmaker. Williams, undrafted out of Illinois in 2024, is a return man who can flip the field with quickness and speed. Cooper should win the job, but Williams is not letting it go without a fight. Dynasty GMs should be invested in Cooper for the long-term outlook. |

New York Jets WR Caullin Lacy (undisclosed) was waived from the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Aug. 28, after the two sides reached an injury settlement.
Link to storyNew York Jets K Jason Sanders has been named the team's kicker for Week 1, according to special teams coordinator Chris Banjo. In a corresponding move, the team waived K Cade York.
| Footballguys view: According to ProFootballTalk.com, that doesn't necessarily mean Sanders will be their kicker in Week 1 -- it's possible that the Jets could acquire another kicker before the start of the regular season -- but it at least leaves Sanders as the last kicker standing for now. Reporters at Jets practice have said that both York and Sanders have been struggling, but Sanders apparently has been better. The 30-year-old Sanders, who missed all of last season with a hip injury, had played his entire career with the Dolphins until they released him in March. |

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) is on track to be ready for Week 1, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq, the 16th overall pick in the 2026 Draft, underwent hernia surgery in the spring and then suffered a setback that has limited him to side work throughout training camp and the preseason. As CBSSports.com noted, Mason Taylor has been a standout with the first-team offense and is expected to open the season as the clear TE1 for the Jets. But that doesn't make Taylor -- or Sadiq -- fantasy relevant. Consider them waiver-wire watchlist players. |
New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) should be available for the Week 1 game, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Hall was spotted on the sideline working with team trainers during Monday's workout which included Hall running at what seemed like something close to full speed. There is no reason for Hall to get back out there against the Giants in the exhibition finale, but such a positive update is a great sign. Going as RB16 in Round 3, Hall offers a ton of upside. |

New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik will not only be the team's backup quarterback but also the only other quarterback on the 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Rich Cimini, who writes that the Jets are 'eager to see' what they have in Klubnik. That means the team is expected to release QBs Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe.
| Footballguys view: As Cimini explained, this is a transition year for the quarterback position. Geno Smith, 35, coming off a down year with the Raiders, is a one-year stopgap. The team probably will draft a quarterback in 2027. In the meantime, they're eager to see what they have in Klubnik, a fourth-round pick -- so eager that it was decided not to bring in legitimate competition for the No. 2 job. |
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (knee) and CB D'Angelo Ponds (calf) are on track to be available for Week 1, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.

New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has been struggling to create consistent separation during practices and has also been inconsistent with his fundamentals, in the opinion of JetsWire's Justin Melo. Cooper may have regained his spot as the Jets' WR3 behind WR1 Garrett Wilson and WR2 Adonai Mitchell.
| Footballguys view: The rookie has some work to do, but the talent is there for him to one day be a productive receiver in the NFL. He can make plays as a deep weapon on the outside, or Cooper can work on shorter targets from the slot. In super deep leagues, Cooper may be someone to throw a dart at as a late-round scratch ticket. Cooper caught 1-of-1 targets for nine yards in Friday's preseason game against the Steelers. |
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor caught his only target for 10 yards during the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Friday, Aug. 21.
