New York selected Cooper in the first round, and he will now miss significant time due to the injury, a source told NFL Network.
New York Jets rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a sprained ankle, according to a source who spoke with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Cooper was one of three first-round selections made by the Jets this year, underscoring the team's investment in bolstering its receiving corps through the draft.
The move to injured reserve means Cooper will be unavailable to the Jets for an extended stretch of the season, though the exact timeline for his return has not been disclosed.

The Jets have not yet issued an official statement confirming the transaction at the time of this report.
