There were no games in the AFC East yesterday, but rosters and storylines still moved. The New York Jets are set to bring back a rookie from injured reserve, while in Buffalo a major feature on Josh Allen examines where the Bills quarterback stands mentally after recent drama against the Rams.
New York Jets: Omar Cooper Jr. coming off injured reserve
Per Pro Football Rumors, the New York Jets will activate rookie Omar Cooper Jr. from injured reserve. Cooper returned to practice earlier this week and is now on track to rejoin the lineup.
Head coach Aaron Glenn said this morning, as relayed by Pro Football Rumors via Brian Costello of the New York Post, that Cooper will play in Week 6. His appearance will come after a minimum four-game stint on IR, in line with current league rules.
At 2-3 in the AFC East, the Jets gain another young offensive piece as they prepare for Week 6. While his exact role remains to be seen, his simple availability gives Glenn and his staff one more option as they try to stabilize the unit.
Buffalo Bills: spotlight on Josh Allen’s mindset
For the 4-1 Buffalo Bills, the focus on Wednesday came off the field. La Presse published a feature on quarterback Josh Allen, describing him as finally freed from his demons.
The outlet recalls Allen’s facial expression — dejected and stunned — as the Los Angeles Rams’ offense marched down the field in overtime during a recent game. La Presse contrasts that image with the quarterback’s current state of mind, without delving into his statistics or specific play calls.
With the Bills setting the pace in the AFC East, Allen’s ability to ride out emotional swings in close games remains central to how observers view Buffalo’s staying power in the division.
Patriots and Dolphins: quiet news day, different records
The New England Patriots sit at 3-2, second in the AFC East standings. Based on the available headlines over the last 24 hours, there were no major reported moves or injuries affecting their roster.
The Miami Dolphins remain winless at 0-5, facing a rough start to their season. No new developments surfaced in yesterday’s news cycle for Miami either, as both clubs move through their preparations for Week 6.
