Jets | Mason Taylor 'week-to-week' with thumb injury, could miss Week 3 Wed Sep 23, 03:21 AM
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. |

Jets | WR Arian Smith placed on injured reserve Tue Sep 22, 04:42 PM
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 | Smith: 'We had opportunities to close out the game' in OT loss to Packers Sun Sep 20, 06:58 PM
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. |

Rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. heading to IR with ankle injury Sat Sep 19, 01:08 PM
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. |

Jets | WR Sterling Shepard added to the practice squad Tue Sep 15, 04:21 PM
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 | Omar Cooper Jr. week-to-week with ankle sprain Tue Sep 15, 11:23 AM
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. |

Jets | S Minkah Fitzpatrick expected to miss 2-3 weeks Tue Sep 15, 11:19 AM
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 | X-rays on Omar Cooper Jr.'s ankle negative; MRI coming next Sun Sep 13, 08:46 PM
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. |

Jets | Breece Hall goes over 100 and scores in easy win Sun Sep 13, 08:37 PM
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 | Omar Cooper leaves game with ankle injury Sun Sep 13, 08:11 PM
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. |

Jets | Breece Hall, Kenyon Sadiq avoid injury designation Fri Sep 11, 04:57 PM
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. |

Jets | RB Hall 'good to go' for Week 1 Thu Sep 10, 04:09 PM

Jets | Breece Hall slated to practice; RB trending toward playing Week 1 Tue Sep 8, 03:47 PM
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. |

Jets | Cade Klubnik the backup Tue Sep 1, 09:43 AM
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. |

Jets | Omar Cooper Jr. locked in tight battle Sat Aug 29, 01:18 PM
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. |

Link to story 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. |

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."

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. |
