Jets' Omar Cooper: To be limited in Wednesday's practice
Cooper (ankle) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic,coach Aaron Glenn downplayed Cooper's current ankle injury, noting of the wideout, "I think he'll he just fine." Meanwhile, Connor Hughes of SNY TV relays the that Cooper's current issue is affecting the same ankle that he hurt in Week 1.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Eight catches in Wilson's absence
Cooper caught eight of 11 targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 35-12 loss to the Chiefs.
Cooper worked as the clear No.1 receiver for the Jets in the absence of Garrett Wilson (concussion), leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards while Adonai Mitchell failed to catch any of his seven targets. Prior to finishing without a target in the Week 8 loss to the Raiders, Cooper delivered consecutive performances with at least 103 yards and a touchdown, so he has been effective in three of four games since returning from an IR stint due to a Week 1 ankle injury. Even if Wilson returns in Week 10, Cooper looks likely to remain involved in what could be a pass-heavy game plan against the Bills.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Primed for key role sans Wilson
Cooper and Adonai Mitchell will be the Jets' top wide receivers with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable for Sunday's game at Kansas City, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
After back-to-back 100-yard games in his first two weeks off injured reserve, Cooper ran 26 routes last week without registering a target in the 38-33 loss to Las Vegas. Mitchell caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown, also running 26 routes, and Cimini's report notes that Mitchell "will become the No. 1 receiver" in Wilson's absence. Both Mitchell and Cooper figure to get plenty of snaps and routes, but targets and production aren't as assured.

Jets' Omar Cooper: No targets in Week 8
Cooper did not garner a target during Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.
Cooper entered Week 8 having topped 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in back-to-back games, so Sunday's performance was especially disappointing. The rookie wideout was overshadowed by Adonai Mitchell (7-142-1) and Garrett Wilson (6-83-0) in the game, and it'll be hard to predict his workload ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup with the Chiefs.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Two long catches and TD in Week 7
Cooper caught all five of his targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.
Cooper topped 100 receiving yards with a TD for the second time in as many games since returning from an ankle injury sustained in his regular-season debut. The rookie 30th overall pick had a 52-yard catch in the first quarter and a 60-yard catch in the third, then added a three-yard touchdown reception three plays after the second long catch. Cooper has been a big-play machine when healthy, and he'll look to build on his strong start in Week 8 against the Raiders.

Jets' Omar Cooper: Could be set for lesser role
Cooper may get fewer looks in the passing game Sunday versus Miami with Adonai Mitchell cleared to return from a finger injury, Amanda Vogt of the Jets' official site reports.
Cooper shined in his return from IR this past Sunday against New England, catching six of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown. That performance will likely gain him more attention from QB Geno Smith moving forward, but it must also be noted that Cooper's big game came in the absence of Mitchell, who is set to return Sunday following a four-game absence. Both Cooper and Mitchell are likely to remain behind Garrett Wilson in the pecking order, but it will be interesting to see if either Cooper or Mitchell is able to separate himself as the team's No. 2 wideout.
