Roster News: Jets claim Cooper, cut Kroeger

The Jets made a personnel move:

The Jets have released rookie P Kai Kroeger, who struggled early during camp. They also claimed CB Ryan Cooper after Miami waived him yesterday.

This leaves Austin McNamara as the only punter in camp. It remains to be seen if they bring in competition or a camp leg but McNamara was apparently impressive today.

Cooper is 23 and spent time with Seattle, Baltimore and Miami since being undrafted out of Oregon State in 2023. His only NFL appearance saw him playing on special teams only. He is also known as Bump Cooper Jr.

In two years with the Beavers, he had four interceptions including a pick six but went undrafted after posting poor workout numbers at his pro day.
