Omar Cooper Jr.'s NFL debut for the New York Jets lasted only four offensive plays before an ankle injury sidelined him in the first quarter against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium. Cooper recorded a 30-yard catch-and-run that set up a touchdown on the opening possession. Former All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, acquired from the Miami Dolphins in a March trade and signed to a three-year, $40 million contract, lasted just six plays before leaving with a strained left groin.

Coach Aaron Glenn provided no injury updates post-game, stating he was "not too worried about them at all." X-rays were negative for Cooper, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Fitzpatrick was replaced by Andre Cisco. The Jets' secondary faced further setbacks as nickelback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. exited with a calf injury in the second quarter before returning later, while rookie D'Angelo Ponds was inactive.

With the secondary stretched thin, safety Dane Belton was moved to the slot during Brownlee's absence. The Jets won the game 23-10.
