51 Brandon Copeland OLB

Copeland had three tackles (one solo) and a sack in Saturday's loss to the Texans.

Copeland now has a sack in back-to-back games as he posted his highest snap count (31) among Jets' outside linebackers Saturday. The 27-year-old still appears to be in rotational role and has 31 tackles and five sacks through 14 games.

Copeland (elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Copeland was able to return to practice in a limited fashion Friday after failing to participate earlier in the week with an elbow injury. He could see additional reps at outside linebacker with Jeremiah Attaochu (coach's decision) sidelined.

Copeland signed a contract with the Jets on Tuesday.

Copeland entered free agency as a restricted free agent but became unrestricted when the Lions declined to tender him a contract. The 26-year-old missed the entire 2017 season with a torn pectoral and is likely to serve as a reserve linebacker for the Jets in 2018.
