Cole (knee) wasn't targeted in Sunday's 25-6 loss to New England.

EDGE Analysis

Cole suited up after missing the season opener, but his lack of involvement suggests he's still feeling the effects of his knee injury. If Cole's able to increase his practice participation in the upcoming week, he'll likely be more involved in the game plan against the Broncos in Week 3.

Cole (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

A limited participant in practice throughout the week while he continued to manage the knee injury that sidelined him for the season-opening loss to the Panthers, Cole ultimately received the green light to make his Jets debut after checking out fine following a pregame evaluation. The extent of Cole's role in the Week 2 game plan is difficult to forecast, however, even with Jamison Crowder (groin) sitting out a second straight contest. While Corey Davis is locked in as the Jets' No. 1 outside receiver, Cole may have to fend off Braxton Berrios for work out of the slot sans Crowder. Cole also has the ability to play outside, so he could challenge rookie Elijah Moore for reps if the Jets prefer to deploy Berrios as their top slot option.

Cole (knee) logged a third consecutive limited practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against New England, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cole has been limited all week after missing the season opener due to this knee injury. He's expected to start on the outside if cleared to play against the Patriots after rookie second-round pick Elijah Moore flopped in his NFL debut while helping fill in for Cole and Jamison Crowder (groin) in Week 1 against the Panthers. Cimini relays that coach Robert Saleh sounded optimistic about the status of both Cole and Crowder, despite suggesting that the two profile as game-time decisions.

Cole (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, fellow WR Jamison Crowder came off the reserve/COVID-19 list but was limited Thursday due to a groin injury. Friday's practice therefore will determine if the duo, who missed Week 1 action, will approach Sunday's game against the Patriots with any sort of injury designation. If both players are available this weekend, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios likely would see reduced roles Week 2.

Cole (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cole was added to the injury report last Thursday and ended up being a game-time decision (ultimately inactive) for Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Panthers. He now looks questionable for Week 2 against the Patriots, while slot man Jamison Crowder is expected to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list at some point this week. Cole likely will be the third or fourth option at WR if/when everyone is healthy, depending on the progress of young wide receivers Elijah Moore and Denzel Mims.

Cole (knee) is on track to return to practice this week, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets are also expected to get Jamison Crowder (illness) back in action, after he and Cole were both sidelined for the team's Week 1 loss to the Panthers. Wednesday's practice report will provide added context with regard to where Cole is at in his recovery from a knee issue that kept him out for the opener.

Cole (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considered a true game-time call heading into Sunday, Cole was ultimately ruled out after the Jets evaluated him during a pregame workout. With Cole's Jets debut delayed by the knee injury and Jamison Crowder (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Elijah Moore, Braxton Berrios and Denzel Mims should all be in line for enhanced snap and target counts behind No. 1 receiver Corey Davis.

Cole (knee) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jamison Crowder still on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Cole potentially unavailable, the Jets' receiving depth will be tested right out of the gate. The biggest beneficiary in terms of playing time should be highly touted rookie Elijah Moore, though second-year pro Denzel Mims and backup slot receiver Braxton Berrios also could take on larger roles behind No. 1 receiver Corey Davis. Cole's availability likely won't be determined until shortly before kickoff Sunday.

Cole (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cole practiced fully Wednesday, so this appears to be a new injury. With Jamison Crowder in COVID-19 protocols, the Jets could be without two expected regulars at wide receiver for Sunday's season opener against the Panthers if Cole's injury ends up hindering his ability to suit up.

Cole caught his only target for a 16-yard gain in Saturday's 12-7 preseason win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Cole's catch came on a pass thrown by starting quarterback Zach Wilson. The Jets' receiver deployment throughout Wilson's two drives in the game suggest Cole's currently rotating with Vyncint Smith as a starter on the outside opposite Corey Davis, though rookie Elijah Moore (quadriceps) may be ahead of both Cole and Smith in the competition for that spot. The Jets' wide receiver rotation will be worth monitoring when they face the Packers in Week 2 of preseason.
