Tim Patrick Tim Patrick Not practicing Thursday
Thu, Sep 10, 2026, 6:14 PM
Patrick (groin) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Patrick was estimated as a non-participant on the Jets' official injury report Wednesday, and he evidently isn't in any better shape a day later. Unless he's able to manage at least a limited practice Friday, he'll probably sit out Sunday's game at Tennessee. |

Braelon Allen Braelon Allen Second on RB depth chart behind healthy Hall
Thu, Sep 10, 2026, 12:48 PM
Allen is listed second on the Jets' unofficial depth chart behind Breece Hall.
Analysis: Allen worked with the starters for most of the preseason while Hall was sidelined by a groin injury. Hall practiced without limitations Wednesday, as did Isaiah Davis (knee), who is listed third on the team's unofficial depth chart. Allen is listed at 235 pounds and has reportedly bulked up to around 250. The 2024 fourth-round pick's large frame could help Allen command valuable goal-line and short-yardage work even while Hall is healthy. |

Breece Hall Breece Hall Expected to avoid snap count
Thu, Sep 10, 2026, 11:41 AM
Hall (groin) could handle a full workload in Sunday's season opener against the Titans, as Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich said Thursday that "unless [head coach Aaron Glenn] and the training staff give us a rep count, we just go play ball," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hall initially received a recovery timetable of 2-to-3 weeks after sustaining a groin strain Aug. 17. Just over three weeks has passed since that date, and Hall practiced without limitations Wednesday, suggesting he has made a full recovery. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, the latter of whom has been cleared to return from a knee injury sustained during training camp, could factor into the game plan as change-of-pace options, but Hall is expected to lead the Jets backfield and handle his normal workload against the Titans in Week 1. |

Clears concussion protocol
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 7:28 PM
Stiggers (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Stiggers suffered a concussion during a joint practice on Aug. 11. The cornerback has since recovered from the injury and has been cleared by an independent neurologist. Stiggers is all set to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Titans. |

Tim Patrick Tim Patrick Misses practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 6:03 PM
Patrick (groin) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Patrick will have a few more opportunities to practice heading into the Week 1 meeting with Tennessee. The 32-year-old most recently appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Jaguars, amassing 15 catches for 187 yards and three touchdowns. If Patrick isn't out there for the opener, it could mean more targets for Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith. |

Not listed on injury report
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 5:55 PM
Wright (undisclosed) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Wright missed a few practices during camp, though it doesn't appear it was anything that will keep him off the field for Week 1. The 2021 No. 99 overall pick, who agreed to a one-year contract with the Jets in March, compiled 80 total tackles, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, five interceptions and one touchdown in 17 regular-season games for the Bears in 2025. |

Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis Logs full practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 4:35 PM
Davis (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Davis missed training camp practices and preseason games while recovering from a knee injury, but his full participation in Wednesday's session indicates that he'll be available for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Titans. The third-year pro projects to serve as the Jets' RB3 this season behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. |

Kenyon Sadiq Kenyon Sadiq Listed as full-go Wednesday
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 3:28 PM
Sadiq (hernia) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The first-round rookie has bounced back from his offseason hernia surgery and is now gearing up for his NFL debut this Sunday. Sadiq was back to participating in positional drills earlier in the week. At this stage, Sadiq is very much on track to be ready for the start of the season. |
|
Breece Hall Breece Hall Full participant Wednesday
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 3:19 PM
Hall (groin) was a full participant on Wednesday's practice report, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The star running back was a full-go to begin the practice week as Sunday's season opener looms. Hall suffered a groin injury late in camp but has been making good progress to the point that it's been expected that he will be ready for Week 1. Look for Hall to lead the Jets' backfield to begin the campaign. |

Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis Partakes in practice Tuesday
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 1:54 PM
Davis (knee) was spotted participating in drills with the Jets' other running backs during Tuesday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Davis' involvement in Tuesday's session bodes well for his chances of being listed as at least a limited participant Wednesday, when the Jets release their first injury report of 2026. The 24-year-old sat out all three of the Jets' preseason games while tending to the knee injury, but if Davis emerges from Week 1 prep without any setbacks, he should be available to serve as the team's No. 3 back behind Breece Hall (groin) and Braelon Allen in Sunday's season opener at Tennessee. |

Breece Hall Breece Hall Involved in Tuesday's practice
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 12:42 PM
Hall (groin) was seen taking part in positional drills during Tuesday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: The Jets won't release their first injury report of the season until Wednesday, but Hall's activity at Tuesday's session offers hope that he might be listed as a full participant in practice. Though Hall had been sidelined for or limited in practices over the past three weeks while nursing a minor right groin strain, the expectation is that he'll be ready to handle a lead role out of the backfield in Sunday's season opener versus the Titans. |

Kenyon Sadiq Kenyon Sadiq Involved in positional drills
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 12:37 PM
Sadiq (hernia) was spotted taking part in positional drills during Tuesday's practice, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: The rookie first-round pick missed nearly all of training camp and the preseason after experiencing a setback in his recovery from hernia surgery, but head coach Aaron Glenn had been optimistic over the past week that Sadiq would be ready to go for the start of the regular season. Sadiq's involvement in positional drills suggests that he remains on track to play in Sunday's game at Tennessee, though the extensive time he missed during the summer means that he'll likely have to settle for a small role off the bat. Mason Taylor looks to be the leading candidate to start and lead the tight-end group in snaps Week 1. |

Breece Hall Breece Hall Trending toward playing in Week 1
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 11:19 AM
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday that Hall (groin) is trending toward playing in Sunday's season opener versus the Titans, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hall sustained a minor right groin strain during an Aug. 17 practice, and though he didn't return to full team drills before the end of the preseason, the running back looks like he'll be available for Week 1. Assuming Hall progresses to a full practice workload by the end of the week, he should be ready to handle a three-down workload Sunday. |

Mason Taylor Mason Taylor Starter on initial depth chart
Fri, Sep 4, 2026, 10:44 AM
Taylor is listed as a starting tight end on the Jets' initial depth chart ahead of a Week 1 game against the Titans.
Analysis: New York listed both Taylor and Jeremy Ruckert as starters at tight end, notably omitting first-round rookie Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) after he missed most of the summer recovering from hernia surgery. Sadiq is on track to play Week 1 against Tennessee, but he's going to have to earn his spot over Taylor and Ruckert. Taylor fits the mold more as a traditional in-line Y tight end, while Sadiq profiles more as an F tight end, functioning as a big slot receiver. Taylor could be a factor in the red zone this season. |

Adonai Mitchell Adonai Mitchell Listed as starter opposite Wilson
Fri, Sep 4, 2026, 10:39 AM
Mitchell is listed as a starting wide receiver on the Jets' initial depth chart ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Titans.
Analysis: It's no surprise after Mitchell showed playmaking ability with New York following his midseason trade from the Colts last season. In eight games with the Jets, Mitchell caught 24 of 58 targets for 301 yards and two touchdowns. That 41.4 percent catch rate ranked second worst in the NFL out of 197 qualified pass catchers, but better quarterback play this season in the form of veteran pickup Geno Smith should help improve that number. Mitchell has big-play upside and is dripping with talent; he just needs to get out of his own way sometimes. He's worth a late-round flier in fantasy and makes for an intriguing best-ball selection. |

Omar Cooper Jr. Omar Cooper Jr. Listed as second-teamer on depth chart
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 9:48 PM
Cooper is listed as a backup wide receiver on the Jets' unofficial depth chart.
Analysis: Cooper served as one of QB Fernando Mendoza's top targets at Indiana last season, finishing with a 69-937-13 line in 16 games. After turning in a 4.42 40 time at the combine, his prospect profile was enough for the Jets to use the 30th overall pick on him in the 2026 NFL Draft. Joining a receiving corps already boasting Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell, Cooper wasn't destined for more than the No. 3 WR role in the offense, but he worked behind even Isaiah Williams in three-wide sets during training camp, and his current depth-chart slotting indicates he still has work to do to earn significant reps in New York's passing game. |

Geno Smith Geno Smith Voted team captain
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 7:45 PM
Smith was voted a Jets captain by his teammates ahead of the 2026 season, Amanda Vogt and Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: It's been nearly 10 years since Smith last took a snap for the Jets, but after revitalizing his career with the Seahawks and Raiders over the last four seasons, he's back in New York as a grizzled vet with age (34) and experience on his side. Smith recorded at least 3,000 yards and 19 touchdowns through the air in each of those four campaigns, but he also tossed 52 interceptions in 64 regular-season games during that span. Picks are often an issue for Smith, but he at least will have a nice skill-position group of RB Breece Hall (groin), WRs Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper and TEs Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) to throw to in 2026. |

Breece Hall Breece Hall Expected back for Week 1
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 3:06 PM
Hall (groin) is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 13, Jack Bell of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson Top target in revamped Jets offense
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 12:28 PM
Wilson is set to top a Jets wide receiver depth chart that also includes Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper, Isaiah Williams, Tim Patrick and Arian Smith, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilson led the Jets with 395 receiving yards in 2025 despite missing 10 of the last 11 games due to a knee injury. The 2022 first-round pick has regained health, while the passing offense around him has undergone a significant makeover, with veteran QB Geno Smith and rookie first-round pass catchers Cooper and Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) among the team's most notable additions. Wilson exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three NFL seasons despite uneven QB play prior to falling well short of that mark in his injury-shortened fourth campaign. |

Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 6:36 PM
Davis (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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. |
