Jets | Jason Sanders wins the NYJ kicking job Tue Aug 25, 01:57 PM
New 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. |

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq expected to be ready Tue Aug 25, 01:08 AM
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. |
Jets | Breece Hall on track for Week 1 Tue Aug 25, 01:07 AM
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. |

Jets | Cade Klubnik to be QB2? Tue Aug 25, 12:50 AM
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. |

Jets | Omar Cooper having inconsistent camp Sat Aug 22, 11:43 AM
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. |

Jets | Breece Hall to miss 2-3 weeks; expected to be ready Week 1 Tue Aug 18, 11:23 AM
New York Jets starting running back Breece Hall is expected to miss two-to-three weeks with a groin strain, head coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday. Hall strained his right groin in practice Monday but is expected to be "ready for the regular season," Glenn said.
| Footballguys view: Hall went down on the grass field without being touched. According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, the Jets will be ultra-cautious with Hall, who has missed only two games over the previous three seasons. As a rookie in 2022, he tore an ACL and missed the final 10 games. Braelon Allen is Hall's backup. Isaiah Davis, their No. 3 back, has been sidelined by a minor knee injury. He's expected to miss at least another week. The Jets open the season in 27 days against the Tennessee Titans. |
Jets | Injury update for Breece Hall Mon Aug 17, 11:24 PM
Updating an earlier report, New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) got confirmation that the groin injury he suffered in practice on Monday, Aug. 17, was minor, per SNY.tv's Connor Hughes, who adds that the team will be cautious with Hall. It's believed he will be ready to go in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: Coach Aaron Glenn downplayed Hall's injury during his news conference, calling it a strain and not a big deal. Hall did undergo an MRI after leaving practice early on Monday. He played in New York's first preseason game against Tampa Bay, totaling four carries for 16 yards. In 2025, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns last season and added 36 catches for 350 yards with one touchdown. He's currently being drafted as RB14 in Round 3. |

Jets | Geno Smith on field Monday Mon Aug 17, 04:44 PM
New York Jets QB Geno Smith (ankle) participated in practice Monday, Aug. 17, but appeared to be favoring his ankle during drills.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, Smith powered through the relatively light practice, though he did have one hiccup -- an overthrow that S Andre Cisco picked off in a two-minute drill. Coach Aaron Glenn acknowledged that Smith still is feeling the residual effects of the injury, adding, "I want to see exactly how he feels coming out of this practice to see how we're going to continue to move forward." We'll continue to watch for more. |

Jets | No practice for Garrett Wilson Mon Aug 17, 01:51 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson (illness) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 17, because of an illness.
| Footballguys view: Jets coach Aaron Glenn said the issue was a stomach bug. As CBSSports.com suggested, assuming Wilson is able to move past the illness and regain strength within the next few days, his preparation for the start of the regular season shouldn't be dramatically affected. Wilson, who's being drafted as WR20 with a fourth-round price, suited up for the Jets' preseason opener Friday against the Buccaneers and displayed a strong early connection with new starting quarterback Geno Smith, recording two catches for 32 yards on three targets in limited snaps. |

Jets | Breece Hall injures groin Mon Aug 17, 10:25 AM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall (groin) suffered a groin strain Monday, Aug. 17, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Hall will be evaluated, but Glenn didn't think it was a major deal.
| Footballguys view: Glenn added that Hall will undergo imaging tests to ensure the Jets have the right answers about his injury. "We will try to be precautionary with a lot of those," Allen said, "to make sure that we do the right things." Hall played in New York's first preseason game against Tampa Bay, registering four carries for 16 yards. One of the Jets' best offensive players, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns and had 36 catches for 350 yards with one TD in 2205. A healthy Hall, going at RB14, could exceed expectations this year. |

Jets | Geno Smith considered day to day Sat Aug 15, 02:24 PM
Updating a previous report, New York Jets QB Geno Smith (foot) is considered day to day due to foot soreness which kept him out of the team's preseason opener Friday, Aug. 14, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Reports suggest the team is not concerned about Smith's foot injury, and it's speculated that if this were a regular-season game, he'd be a go. Smith has been pushing the ball to all three levels of the defense during training camp. He's a seasoned veteran who is a QB3 (QB29, 21.09) for Fantasy GMs in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Jets | Omar Cooper having some missteps Wed Aug 12, 03:25 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. has shown some inconsistencies during training camp, but wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said that is normal for a rookie.
| Footballguys view: The team moved up in the 2026 NFL Draft to select Cooper at no.30 overall. He's an outside or slot target who can win with run-after-the-catch ability (think young Deebo Samuel here). The Indiana wideout should be the team's no.3 receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. |

New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (knee) will be sidelined for at least two weeks because of a knee injury, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Davis is the #3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Some thought Davis could push Allen for the #2 job, but the possibility of that has probably vanished with this injury. If the Jets think this injury will affect Davis into the season, return man Kene Nwangwu would become the #3 running back. Linebacker turned running back UDFA Chip Trayanum could get his foot in the door to make the team or at least the practice squad with Davis sidelined. |

Jets | Geno Smith pushing ball downfield Wed Aug 5, 10:21 AM
New York Jets QB Geno Smith has been testing all three levels of the defense and really wants to push the ball downfield.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have skill position players who can attack all levels of the defense, so it makes sense Smith would be distributing the rock all over the field. With WR Garrett Wilson as the primary target, we should see Smith target him early and often. He's also got guys like WR Adonai Mitchell, rookie WR Omar Cooper, and rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq (plus RB Breece Hall out of the backfield). The Jets don't have their future franchise QB, and Smith is just a QB3 for Fantasy GMs in 2026. Let some of these young players develop and draft a franchise quarterback, and the Jets will be competitive in the future. |

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) suffered a setback in his recovery from hernia surgery and will miss time. Head coach Aaron Glenn is confident Sadiq will be ready for the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq, who was the 16th overall pick in April, had the procedure in May. 2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert, Jelani Woods, and Chase Curtis remain available at tight end for the Jets. While Sadiq has considerable value in dynasty leagues, his redraft ADP -- TE21 -- reflects skepticism about the short-term outlook. |
