Cooper Returns to Lineup
Rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. will be available for the game after recovering from a high-ankle sprain that limited him to four snaps in his debut. He recorded a 30-yard reception in that contest and practiced fully on Friday before activation from injured reserve.
Key Absences Persist
Running back Breece Hall will miss his third consecutive game due to a quadriceps issue, while wide receiver Adonai Mitchell sits out for the fourth straight contest following finger surgery. Left guard Dylan Parham also remains sidelined with a knee injury for the third game in a row. Edge rusher Joseph Ossai, on a three-year contract, will miss his third game with an ankle problem.
Offensive Production Shifts
The Jets, at 2-3, have seen Garrett Wilson lead with 31 receptions while Sadiq follows with 14. Without Hall, the backfield will again feature Braelon Allen, who posted 116 rushing yards in the previous outing. Tim Patrick has already returned from injured reserve, but the receiving group remains short-handed beyond the top options.
