Overview

• Nickerson jumped an out route by Malachi Corley to pick off Jets rookie quarterback Brady Cook at MetLife Stadium.
• Local evaluations noted strong early tackles and credited the takeaway with setting up a Philadelphia field goal in a 19-17 win.
• A 2018 Jets draft pick, Nickerson has bounced among several teams and has not logged a regular-season snap since October 2023.
• He spent most of 2024 on the Eagles’ practice squad and earned a Super Bowl ring during that stint.
• Analysts expect Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean to headline the cornerback group, with others favored for roster spots, leaving Nickerson likely bound for the practice squad and potentially on waivers for other teams to consider.
