Jets S Minkah Fitzpatrick, WR Omar Cooper Jr. Expected to Miss Multiple Games
- On Tuesday, the New York Jets confirmed that safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is expected to miss 2-3 weeks following a groin injury sustained during Sunday's 23-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans.
- The veteran safety played only six snaps in his Jets debut before exiting in Nashville, where trainers helped him off the field and he did not return to the game.
- Safety Andre Cisco will take over the position, with head coach Aaron Glenn confirming on Monday that Cisco has begun picking up the roles Fitzpatrick usually handles at nickel.
- Avoiding injured reserve, the team targets a potential return for Fitzpatrick in Week 4 or Week 5, sidestepping the mandatory four-game absence that IR placement would require.
- Facing a Week 2 home opener against the Green Bay Packers, the Jets must also manage the status of Omar Cooper, who remains week-to-week with an ankle sprain.
