New York Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. were sidelined from practice on Wednesday due to injuries, with head coach Aaron Glenn describing their statuses as “week to week.” Fitzpatrick sustained a groin injury early in the team’s season-opening 23-10 victory against the Tennessee Titans last Sunday. Cooper, a first-round draft pick, also left that game with an ankle injury following a 30-yard catch-and-run during New York’s opening touchdown drive. When asked whether the two players might be placed on the injured reserve list, which would require a minimum four-week absence, Glenn indicated that this was not a consideration at the moment. The Jets will continue to monitor their conditions as they prepare for upcoming games.
