What happened: New York elevated kicker Jason Sanders and linebacker Troy Reeder for the scheduled game against Green Bay. The Jets also placed rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper on injured reserve.

Why it matters: The move puts Sanders and Reeder in position to join the game-day roster before kickoff. It also leaves the Jets thinner at receiver while Cooper is sidelined after Sanders returned to the practice squad earlier this month.

What to watch: The next game-day inactive list will show how the Jets round out the rest of the roster. Sanders' role on special teams is one of the immediate decisions to watch.
