New York Jets Injuries

The nature of Brown's injury is not clear, nor when he sustained the injury. However, his placement on IR without a return designation means the 2021 fourth-rounder will be forced to miss the entire upcoming season unless an injury settlement is reached with the Jets. Brown appeared in 10 regular-season games between the Rams and Jets in 2025, finishing with eight tackles (four solo).

Cooper suffered a shoulder injury during Friday's preseason finale against the Giants. The rookie sixth-rounder is set to be a primary piece of depth for the Jets' offensive line throughout 2026. Cooper will be required to miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season until he is eligible to return to the Jets' active roster.

Trayanum suffered a neck injury in the team's preseason finale against the Giants on Friday. The running back is now set to miss the entire 2026 campaign while on IR with New York, and he'd have to reach an injury settlement with the team to have a chance to play this season.

Cooper suffered a sprained ankle early on in his pro debut this past Sunday at Tennessee that left him week-to-week. He predictably didn't practice during Week 2 prep and then was ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Once he's officially on injured reserve, Cooper will need to miss at least the next four games, at which point New York will be able to designate him for return from IR. In the meantime, Isaiah Williams figures to take on a bigger role behind Garrett Williams and Adonai Mitchell.

Patrick was ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest after Friday's practice. The wide receiver's groin injury seems to be lingering, so the 32-year-old will spend some time on IR. Patrick will be eligible to return from IR after four games, meaning Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith will likely see a greater share of reserve opportunities with the Jets' wide receiver corps.

Ossai sat out the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans last Sunday as he continued to rehab the foot injury he suffered during the preseason. The defensive end has yet to fully recover from the issue and will now miss consecutive games. Rookie first-round pick David Bailey should continue to be relied upon heavily as an edge rusher in Ossai's absence.

Baron opened training camp on the active/PUP list due to a knee injury he sustained last December. He's not quite ready to participate in practice, and the move to reserve/PUP means he'll be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The second-year pro logged nine tackles (five solo) across six regular-season games last year before his knee injury.

The defensive tackle was placed on the active/non-football injury list in late July, though his hamstring issue was not considered to be serious. Jets coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Sweat should be back soon, per Rosenblatt. The former Titan is expected to start on New York's defensive line after recording 34 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in 12 regular-season games last season.

Nwangwu will miss a second consecutive game Sunday, and he's considered week-to-week. With Nwangwu sidelined again in Week 2, Isaiah Williams will presumably handle most of the return duties versus Green Bay.

It was reported Tuesday that Fitzpatrick was expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks, so his absence against the Packers isn't much of a surprise. While Fitzpatrick remains on the shelf, Andre Cisco is expected to take his place and start alongside Dane Belton.

Ponds strung together three consecutive limited practices during Week 1 prep, but he was not cleared to make his NFL regular-season debut against the Titans this past Sunday. Ponds may remain sidelined for the Jets' Week 2 clash against the Packers this Sunday unless he's able to log a full practice over the next two days.

Stiggers was seen practicing in a red non-contact jersey, meaning he is progressing well through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The next step for the cornerback will be being cleared for full practice by an independent neurologist.

McDonald popped up on Thursday's injury report as an LP due to an ankle injury, and a limited session Friday drew him the questionable tag for Week 2. The fourth-year pro's status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the inactive lists are announced approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Rookie No. 2 overall pick David Bailey, Braiden McGregor and Kingsley Enagbare would all be in line for more defensive snaps if McDonald is not cleared to play against Green Bay.

Sherwood may have tweaked his knee during the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans in Week 1, when he played 45 defensive snaps and finished with four tackles (two solo). The sixth-year pro will have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's home game against the Packers.

Mauigoa participated in 52 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps, playing 33 downs. The linebacker also had a presence on special teams, playing 14 snaps for the unit. The 23-year-old is returning from a neck injury that caused him to miss the final four games of the 2025 regular season.

Hall is still nursing the groin injury he suffered 17 days ago, but he was originally given a return timetable of 2-to-3 weeks and was spotted running without any noticeable issues on a side field last week. Barring any setbacks, it sounds like Hall should be fine for the season opener. Whether he sees his normal workload is another question, as Braelon Allen has looked the part in practice and during limited preseason action, where he rushed seven times for 48 yards (6.9 YPC) and one touchdown.

Davis continues to recover from a knee injury that he sustained in a training camp practice in early August. He's been limited to side work and has yet to be cleared for team drills, and his practice participation next week will provide a better sense of whether he'll be available for the Jets' regular-season opener against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 13. Breece Hall (groin) is also nursing an injury, leaving Braelon Allen and Kene Nwangwu as the two healthy running backs on the Jets' 53-man roster.

Cisco played 33 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps, totaling 21 downs. The starting strong safety missed the final 10 games of the 2025 regular season due to a pectoral injury. The 24-year-old will likely see similar reps in next Friday's preseason showdown against the Steelers as he returns to live NFL action.

The severity of the injury is unknown at this point, but it will at least keep Curtis off the field for the rest of the game. In his absence, fellow undrafted rookie free-agent tight end Connor Hulstein may see an uptick in snaps.

Sadiq missed most of training camp and the entirety of the preseason, but the first-round rookie now will begin ramping up his activity level over the next 10 days to get ready for the regular-season opener. He isn't going to have an every-down role out of the gates for the Jets due to all of the missed practice time, and the expectation is Mason Taylor operates as more of an every-down tight end for New York. Sadiq is someone to monitor in fantasy leagues at the beginning of the season to see how his role grows in an offense starved for playmakers.

Camper sustained a head injury in the second half of Friday's contest. The wide receiver will be evaluated by an independent neurologist. If Camper is deemed to have suffered a concussion, he will be placed into the league's five-step protocol. The 25-year-old will likely be waived come Sunday's cutdown day if he is not placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Cooper suffered a sprained ankle early on in his pro debut this past Sunday at Tennessee that left him week-to-week. He predictably didn't practice during Week 2 prep and then was ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers.

The sixth-year pro will have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's home game against the Packers.

The 2021 fourth-rounder is considered week-to-week due to a back injury, so his absence from Wednesday's practice isn't a surprise. Nwangwu will have two more opportunities to practice in at least a limited capacity, which would give him a chance to return for Sunday's home game against the Packers.

Fitzpatrick left Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans due to a groin injury. Per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz on Tuesday, the veteran safety is expected to miss two to three weeks, so he's unlikely to play against the Packers on Sunday unless he manages to practice in at least a limited capacity this week. Andre Cisco figures to start alongside Dane Belton at safety for as long as Fitzpatrick is sidelined.

Cooper underwent an MRI after spraining his ankle in Sunday's victory over the Titans, and per the report he received "positive news" and could be back at some point in the next month. Isaiah Williams picked up the bulk of the work in Cooper's place in Week 1, and he figures to see extra snaps until the rookie first-round pick is ready to return.

The safety left the game in the first half due to a groin injury. Fitzpatrick did not record a stat before leaving the field. Malachi Moore and Andre Cisco should be in line to see more snaps in his absence.

Patrick was ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest after Friday's practice. The wide receiver's groin injury seems to be lingering, so the 32-year-old will spend some time on IR. Patrick will be eligible to return from IR after four games, meaning Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith will likely see a greater share of reserve opportunities with the Jets' wide receiver corps.

The rookie second-rounder missed all of training camp and did not play in any of the Jets' three preseason games due to a calf injury he sustained in late July. He is progressing in his recovery, and it appears Pond is trending toward making his NFL debut in Tennessee on Sunday, Sept. 13. The Indiana product will provide depth in the secondary behind Jarvis Brownlee, Brandon Stephens and Nahshon Wright (hip).

Ossai injured his foot during the Jets' preseason finale against the Giants on Saturday. The severity of the injury puts him in jeopardy of missing the Jets' regular-season opener against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 13, and Ossai could be a candidate for injured reserve. Braiden McGregor and David Bailey will be the Jets' rotational defensive ends behind starters Will McDonald and Kingsley Enagbare for as long as Ossai is sidelined.

Sadiq missed most of training camp and the entirety of the preseason, but the first-round rookie now will begin ramping up his activity level over the next 10 days to get ready for the regular-season opener.

Cooper suffered a shoulder injury during Friday's preseason finale against the Giants. The rookie sixth-rounder is set to be a primary piece of depth for the Jets' offensive line throughout 2026. Cooper will be required to miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season until he is eligible to return to the Jets' active roster.

Payne suffered an unknown issue in early August that was set to sideline him for three to four weeks. The free safety's timeline appears to have been extended, and Payne will need to miss the first four weeks of the season at least before he is eligible to return to the Jets' active roster from IR.

Cooper exited the first half of Friday's game due to a shoulder injury. The rookie sixth-rounder likely remains set to make the 53-man roster as one of the reserve options on the offensive line. Xavier Hill may get some reps at left guard in Cooper's stead.

Camper sustained a head injury in the second half of Friday's contest. The wide receiver will be evaluated by an independent neurologist. If Camper is deemed to have suffered a concussion, he will be placed into the league's five-step protocol. The 25-year-old will likely be waived come Sunday's cutdown day if he is not placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Trayanum suffered a possibly significant neck injury in the third quarter and is on his way to the hospital. The running back remains conscious and in control of his extremities. The undrafted free agent out of Toledo signed with the Jets in early May and is competing for a depth role.

Ossai exited the first half of Friday's contest with an apparent foot injury. The defensive end was removed from the Jets' active/PUP list Aug. 11 with an undisclosed injury. Another issue for the veteran is not good news, and if he cannot return, Paschal Ekeji will likely see more snaps to round out Friday's game.

Davis has missed the Jets' first two preseason contests due to a knee injury he suffered in early August. Tuesday's development marks his first notable on-field work since then, but it remains to be seen if he'll be healthy enough to suit up for Friday's exhibition against the Giants. With No. 1 RB Breece Hall (groin) also working on the side as of Monday, New York's backfield is getting healthier as Week 1 approaches, but at the moment Braelon Allen is the top healthy back on the roster.

Sadiq has barely practiced with the team since being selected with the 16th overall pick in the 2026 Draft. He underwent hernia surgery in the spring and then suffered a setback that has limited him to side work throughout training camp and the preseason. Mason Taylor has been a standout with the first-team offense and figures to open the season as the clear TE1 for the Jets.

Hall has been sidelined since suffering a minor groin strain at last Monday's session, which was expected to keep him out of drills for 2-to-3 weeks. Considering he was "moving well" this Monday, per Costello, Hall may be ahead of the curve in his recovery. In any case, Hall seems likely to miss Friday's preseason game against the Giants, with the focus instead on Week 1 at Tennessee on Sunday, Sept. 13.

The severity of the injury is unknown at this point, but it will at least keep Curtis off the field for the rest of the game. In his absence, fellow undrafted rookie free-agent tight end Connor Hulstein may see an uptick in snaps.

Jonathan was waived/injured by the Jets on Tuesday. The defensive end cleared waivers and will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. Jonathan played in one regular-season game for the Jets in 2025, logging one tackle assist over 25 total snaps.

Cisco played 33 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps, totaling 21 downs. The starting strong safety missed the final 10 games of the 2025 regular season due to a pectoral injury. The 24-year-old will likely see similar reps in next Friday's preseason showdown against the Steelers as he returns to live NFL action.

Mauigoa participated in 52 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps, playing 33 downs. The linebacker also had a presence on special teams, playing 14 snaps for the unit. The 23-year-old is returning from a neck injury that caused him to miss the final four games of the 2025 regular season.

Stiggers had to be taken in an ambulance to a local hospital after collapsing during a joint practice Tuesday, but he has since been released and is recovering. While Stiggers works his way back to being cleared for football activities, Jordan Clark could be a beneficiary of the reps left behind in the secondary.

Ossai opened training camp on the PUP list while tending to an unspecified injury. He's since been cleared to participate in practice, though it's unclear whether he'll be available for Friday's preseason opener against the Buccaneers. Ossai signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Jets in March after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Bengals. The 2021 third-rounder projects to serve in a rotational role at defensive end behind Will McDonald and 2026 No. 2 overall pick David Bailey.

Stiggers's evaluation hasn't resulted in any reported diagnosis, yet. Per Cimini, Jets defensive tackle Harrison Phillips said Tuesday that, "what's been shared to us is that things are on the up and up." Stiggers took on a notable depth role in the Jets' secondary toward the end of last season.

The rookie cornerback strained his calf in late July during a training camp practice, but Jets coach Aaron Glenn said then that the injury wasn't serious, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Glenn told reporters Monday that Ponds should be back soon, per Rosenblatt. The second-round pick is expected to play a major role in New York's secondary.

The defensive tackle was placed on the active/non-football injury list in late July, though his hamstring issue was not considered to be serious. Jets coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Monday that Sweat should be back soon, per Rosenblatt. The former Titan is expected to start on New York's defensive line after recording 34 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in 12 regular-season games last season.

Baron is currently battling a knee injury, forcing him to miss the start of training camp. While the 24-year-old is still eligible to be with the team, he won't be able to practice until he's officially activated.
