Jets Confirm Mitchell Hand Procedure as Cooper Jr. Returns to Practice Window
Omar Cooper Jr.'s 21-day practice window gives New York a quick option at receiver as several key offensive players remain on week-to-week injury lists.
Overview
- Coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Adonai Mitchell had a small procedure on his injured finger and is being treated as week-to-week while continuing to occupy a 53-man roster spot.
- The Jets opened rookie Omar Cooper Jr.'s 21-day practice window on Wednesday, which allows him to practice and be activated to the active roster within three weeks or revert to season-ending injured reserve.
- Running back Breece Hall remains week-to-week with a quadriceps issue, and Braelon Allen has filled the backfield role with a career-high 116 rushing yards and a touchdown in the most recent game.
- Rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq is still in the NFL concussion protocol and will need daily clearances before he can return to contact work or game-day availability.
- Those short-term moves highlight the Jets' midseason roster management choices and could affect Week 6 game plans, activation decisions and fantasy rosters as the team weighs using Cooper's window versus keeping Mitchell on the active roster.
