Omar Cooper Jr. injury update: Opens practice window ahead of Week 6 vs. Patriots

The Jets opened Omar Cooper Jr.'s 21-day practice window Wednesday, while Adonai Mitchell and Breece Hall remain week to week.

By Cole Hartwell

Jets receiver Omar Cooper Jr. will return to practice Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. The rookie has missed four games with a sprained ankle.

What happened

Cooper was the Jets’ third first-round pick this year, taken 30th overall after David Bailey (No. 2) and Kenyon Sadiq (16th). He has played just five offensive snaps and caught one pass for 30 yards in the Week 1 win over the Titans. The Jets have 21 days to activate him from IR.

Adonai Mitchell remains week to week after undergoing a procedure on his finger, head coach Aaron Glenn said via Brian Costello of the New York Post. He is expected to miss his fourth straight game Sunday. Mitchell has not been placed on IR. He caught nine passes for 123 yards over the first two weeks.

Breece Hall also remains week to week with a quadriceps injury, per Rich Cimini of ESPN. Hall was hurt in a loss to the Lions on Sept. 27. He rushed for 163 yards and one touchdown on 51 carries and caught 10 passes for 102 yards before the injury.

Depth chart

With Mitchell out, the Jets have leaned on Garrett Wilson, who has 86.4 PPR points on 31 catches, 374 yards and three touchdowns. Isaiah Williams has 33.8 PPR points, while Tim Patrick and Sterling Shepard are also ahead of Mitchell on the depth chart. Malik McClain is behind Mitchell.

With Hall out, Braelon Allen has impressed, rushing for 175 yards on 38 attempts since Week 4, including 116 yards and a touchdown against the Browns last Sunday.

What’s next

The 2-3 Jets visit the 3-2 Patriots on Sunday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

This news is more about the future than Week 6. Cooper is returning to practice but remains on IR, so he cannot play Sunday; even if activated, his five NFL snaps suggest no immediate role. Mitchell and Hall are week to week, so don’t expect them against the Patriots. Allen is the clear add for the week; his 116-yard performance shows he can carry the load. In deeper leagues, Isaiah Williams is a sneaky flex with Mitchell out again, but Garrett Wilson remains the only Jets receiver you can trust. Cooper is a stash in dynasty formats.

Quick answers

Will Adonai Mitchell play in Week 6?

Mitchell is week to week after a finger procedure and is expected to miss his fourth straight game.

Will Breece Hall play in Week 6?

Hall remains week to week with a quadriceps injury and is not expected to play against the Patriots.
