FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. will be activated from the injured reserve list and should help boost an offense that will be without running back Breece Hall and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell at New England on Sunday.
Coach Aaron Glenn said rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who was in the concussion protocol after being injured last week against Cleveland, was expected to fully participate in practice Friday and should play.
Cooper, a first-round pick in April, has been sidelined since spraining an ankle in his NFL debut at Tennessee in Week 1 after having a 30-yard catch-and-run on New York's opening drive.
“I'm excited for any of our guys that actually misses time and gets a chance to come back and get a chance to play, but it's a rookie that had a really big catch in that first Tennessee game,” Glenn said. “All things we expect from him when it comes to the catch-and-run opportunities that we feel like he'll do a good job.”
Sadiq, also a first-rounder, was hurt when he fumbled after a catch in the third quarter against the Browns. The versatile tight end is second on the Jets in receptions behind Garrett Wilson with 14 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown.
The presence of Cooper and Sadiq should help the Jets' offense against the Patriots' fifth-ranked defense, especially with Hall and Mitchell still sidelined.
Hall will miss his third straight game with a quadriceps injury, while Mitchell will be out for a fourth game in a row with a finger injury. Both will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. Glenn revealed Wednesday that Mitchell recently had surgery on the finger, but wasn't placed on IR.
“We thought it was going to be a week-to-week injury,” Glenn said. “It just happened to extend out a little bit more.”
Left guard Dylan Parham will also miss his third straight game with a knee injury.
Glenn added that edge rusher Joseph Ossai won't play because of an ankle injury suffered against Cleveland.
Linebacker Kiko Mauigoa (quadriceps) and safety Dane Belton (knee) were expected to be full participants at practice Friday and play at New England. Mauigoa has been sidelined three games, while Belton was banged up in the win over the Browns during which he tied for the team lead with seven tackles and had a sack.

Stocks on Wall Street are mostly slipping Friday as another pullback in big technology companies weighs on the market.
The S&P 500 was down 0.5% as of 12:23 p.m. Eastern time and on track for a weekly loss. The benchmark index is just below the all-time high it set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average wavered between small gains and losses of less than 0.1%.
The Nasdaq composite was down 1.3% and headed for its first weekly loss in five weeks. Weakness for AI stocks has been a major drag on the tech-heavy index this week.
Technology companies were the biggest drag on the broader market. Micron Technology fell 3.8%, Advanced Micro Devices dropped 3.7%, Broadcom was down 3% and Intel lost 4.4%. The declines in heavyweight tech stocks outweighed losses in most other parts of the market, and the majority of U.S. stocks were rising.
It’s been a choppy week for chipmakers and other big tech stocks central to the artificial intelligence industry. Investors are now worried that the companies, which have relied on debt markets to finance an investment spree into their technology, may not be able to keep borrowing and spending as heavily with yields in bond markets worldwide recently climbing to their highest levels in years.
Netflix’s stock fell 2.4% a day after the company announced that Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria will be replaced by Peter Rice. The news comes just days after Netflix said that it plans to lay off about 6% of its workforce, amounting to nearly 1,000 positions.
Gains by big banks and other financial companies helped limit the market slide. JPMorgan rose 1.6%, Citigroup gained 1.8% and Wells Fargo was up 1.4%.
European markets were broadly higher and Asian markets rose.
In the bond market, Treasury yields edged higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 5.12% from 5.10% late Thursday. It had topped 5.30% earlier this month and touched its highest level since 2002 because of worries about high inflation, signals of a strong U.S. economy and other factors.
Yields are down despite reports this week showing that inflation at the consumer and wholesale level rose more in the U.S. than economists expected.
The reports could persuade the inflation-fighters at the Federal Reserve to hike their key interest rate before the end of this year. The central bank increased its key interest rate by a quarter-point to about 3.9% in September, its first increase in three years.
Wall Street traders expect the Fed will keep its short-term rate unchanged at policy meeting this month, but the odds of a rate increase at the December meeting have jumped to 75.9% from 50.2% a month ago, according to data from the CME Group.
On Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh offered no fresh signals about potential interest rate policy moves by the Fed while attending a meeting of financial leaders in Bangkok.
Elsewhere in the market, shares in Tesla fell 1.1% after the electric vehicle company unveiled a new model of its Roadster sports car that can thrust itself up in the air.
Alcoa jumped 6.5% after reporting quarterly results that topped Wall Street estimates.
Expectations are high for growth in profits from all kinds of companies this reporting season, which began in earnest this week. That’s what’s allowed U.S. stocks to set records despite high inflation and the many other worries weighing on Wall Street.
In energy markets, oil prices remained elevated as the global oil supply continues to be under pressure without a deal between the U.S. and Iran to end the Iran war.
Brent crude, the international standard, was up 1.4% at $107.35 per barrel. That is still high compared with around $72 a barrel in late February before the start of the war. Brent climbed into triple digits last month, the first time since July.
The national average for gasoline is at $4.33 a gallon on Friday, according to AAA. While that’s lower than the $4.37 a gallon that it averaged last month, it’s sharply higher than the $3.06 a gallon from a year ago.
Oil remains well-supported as uncertainties surrounding the situation in the Middle East and concerns over oil flows in the Strait of Hormuz had the market “pricing in a significant risk premium,” ING commodities strategists Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey wrote in a commentary Friday.
