The New York Jets are placing rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, per multiple reports. Most outlets describe the injury as a sprain, while Yahoo Sports specifically reports it as a high ankle sprain.
Cooper, a first-round pick, is set to miss several games while recovering. According to reporting from Ian Rapoport, Cooper Jr. will be designated to return and should be back shortly after receiving time to heal from the injury. One account of Rapoport's reporting indicates he'll have four weeks to recover.
The Jets also elevated kicker Jason Sanders and linebacker Troy Reeder for Week 2, per NFL Trade Rumors.
