Jets Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick Leaves Early with a Groin Injury vs the Titans

Minkah Fitzpatrick was ruled out after a groin injury, and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. left with an ankle injury.

  • On Sunday, the New York Jets ruled out All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. during their Week 1 game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium.
  • Acquired from the Miami Dolphins in a March trade, Fitzpatrick signed a three-year, $40 million contract to bolster a secondary that allowed 216.1 passing yards per game in 2025.
  • Reports stated Fitzpatrick was seen "grabbing at his groin" before departing after six snaps, while Cooper Jr. set up an early touchdown with a 30-yard catch-and-run before his injury.
  • Veteran Andre Cisco replaced Fitzpatrick in the lineup, while cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. exited with a calf injury, forcing Dane Belton into the slot to address secondary depth challenges.
  • Despite these early setbacks, the Jets secured a 23-10 victory, though uncertainty remains regarding the long-term health of these key contributors as the season progresses.
