Jets activate WR Keelan Cole from COVID list

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Jets activated wide receiver Keelan Cole from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday.

He landed on the list on Nov. 30 and missed last Sunday’s 33-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Cole, 28, has 19 catches for 299 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games (seven starts) in his first year with the Jets.

With wideout Corey Davis placed on season-ending injured reserve earlier this week and rookie Elijah Moore missing Wednesday’s practice with a quad injury, Cole could have a big role Sunday when the Jets (3-9) host the New Orleans Saints (5-7).

Cole played his first four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, catching 159 passes for 2,242 yards and 12 scores in 64 games (23 starts) from 2017-20.

Jets WRs Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole marked for return

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Jets get back two of their top wide receivers as Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) and Keelan Cole (knee) will be ready to go in Week 2.

The Jets host division rival New England in their home opener Sunday.

Crowder, 28, tested positive despite being vaccinated and was unable to return for the Jets’ season opener vs. Carolina. Crowder led the Jets in receptions (59), receiving yards (699) and touchdown catches (six) last season.

Cole, who signed a one-year deal with the Jets last March, injured his knee ahead of Week 1 and was inactive. He’ll make his Jets debut Sunday.

“Those guys do things the right way,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday. “They’re where they’re supposed to be. They’re all gas 100 percent of the time. They’re reliable. For a quarterback, you can’t ask for much more than that. To have two more options on the field for the quarterback is priceless.”

Crowder bumps Braxton Berrios from the starting lineup. Cole will see action outside and in the slot.

Cole has 159 career receptions for 2,242 yards and 12 TDs in 64 games (23 starts), all with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Corey Davis caught five passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns from rookie quarterback Zach Wilson last week against the Panthers.
