Breece Hall will miss the Jets’ Week 4 contest vs. the Bears after suffering a thigh injury late in Week 3’s game against the Lions. Hall should be considered week-to-week as he was unable to get any practices in this week.
Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will ostensibly share the backfield while Breece Hall is out, with Allen expected to have the majority of the work. It’s unlikely this will lead to more work for Geno Smith, as Omar Cooper remains on IR, Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor are also out, and Kenyon Sadiq is questionable for Sunday.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn reported that Mitchell caught his finger in a jersey on Thursday and had no further details to share. According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, there that injury should be monitored and there is “some concern” over Adonai Mitchell playing this week against the Lions. Mitchell was limited on Thursday and Fridays’ practices where he was seen with a large wrapping on his hand, index and middle finger.
Not good news for this Jets offense, Mitchell on the season had already accumulated 9 receptions and 123 passing yards with a 25.4% target share with Geno Smith at the helm of this new Jets’ offense. If Mitchell is out this week, Garret Wilson and Kenyon Sadiq will see more targets, making them both must-starts in a shootout game environment at Detroit (48.5 game total).
UPDATE: Adonai Mitchell was ruled OUT for Sunday’s game at Detroit as he recovers from what must now be considered a “less-than-minor” finger injury.
Jets tight end Mason Taylor will miss Week 3 and is week-to-week with an injury after missing practices early in the week as he nurses an injured thumb.
Mason’s absence opens up signifiant tight end snap share for Kenyon Sadiq. He steps into an expanded role as the Jets head to face the Detroit Lions in what could be an under-the-radar shootout.
After initially being labeled as a week-to-week injury, Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr.’s ankle injury has now landed him on IR. This likely means a high ankle sprain so the Jets made the decision to free up a spot on the 53-man roster by placing Cooper on IR.
This further entrenches Adonai Mitchell as the Jets’ WR2 and will give additional opportunities to Isaiah Williams for at least the next month. It could also lead to more 12-personnel with rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq and 2nd-year TE Mason Taylor on the field more. Fantasy football managers will need to wait and see how long this will keep Cooper shelved.
The Jets’ first round rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. left Week 1’s contest vs. the Titans with an ankle injury and did not return. Cooper had a 30-yard catch and run for the Jets on the opening drive, showing the explosiveness and YAC ability that led to the Jets drafting him so high, but left one play later.
Head Coach Aaron Glenn did not have a detailed update on the injury in his post-game press conference but did say that he wasn’t worried about the severity of it. Cooper had fallen behind Adonai Mitchell and Isaiah Williams at one point during camp (Garrett Wilson the clear alpha) but had a strong close to camp to usurp Williams as WR3 to start the year. Now fantasy football managers will need to stay tuned for updates on Cooper’s status going forward. Cooper is No. 59 in PlayerProfiler’s WR dynasty rankings.
Frank Reich plans a deliberate ramp-up for Kenyon Sadiq, curbing immediate redraft viability out of the gate. The first-round selection brings an elite physical profile to the tight end position, backed by a 100th-percentile 40-yard dash (4.39) and a 127.4 (100th-percentile) Speed Score.
While a stash makes sense in deep redraft formats, Sadiq remains primarily a high-ceiling target in dynasty leagues until his route participation expands. Sadiq is falling fast on PlayerProfiler’s 2026 redraft rankings, and Mason Taylor is conversely rising.
