Jets to put rookie WR Omar Cooper on IR
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Jets first-round pick Omar Cooper will miss at least four games due to an ankle injury and has been placed on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.
- Cooper was injured early in last Sunday's win over the Titans after a 30-yard reception that set up the team's first touchdown of the season.
- To bolster their receiving options during Cooper's absence, the Jets signed veteran Sterling Shepard to the practice squad this week.
- Shepard may join Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams, and Arian Smith as key contributors in the passing game while Cooper recovers.
