The New York Jets report injuries to safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and wide receiver Omar Cooper during the first quarter of their game against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville on September 13, 2026. Both players are listed as questionable to return to action. Fitzpatrick sustained a groin injury while chasing Titans quarterback Cam Ward on the opening defensive series. Cooper, a rookie, exited the game after catching a 30-yard pass on third down that set up a Jets touchdown, citing an ankle issue. Separately, Titans punt returner Chimere Dike required medical attention after a collision with a teammate during a punt return later in the quarter. The Jets hold a lead early in the contest as medical staff continue to monitor the status of the injured players on both sidelines.
