What happened: Ian Rapoport reported that X-rays were negative for Omar Cooper after an ankle sprain. An MRI is coming to assess the injury further.

Why it matters: Cooper is part of the Jets' first-year receiver group after agreeing to terms with New York on June 1. Aaron Glenn also cited a groin issue for Minkah Fitzpatrick from the game and said he was not worried about either injury.

What to watch: The MRI result will shape Cooper's practice status and short-term availability. New York's next injury report will show whether the ankle limits him during the week.
