The Jets have claimed CB Ryan Cooper and released rookie P Kai Kroeger.

His 265 career punts are a school record and the fifth most in SEC history. He led the SEC with 62 punts in the 2023 season and his 2,675 yards in the '22 season led the conference when he earned first-team All-America honors. Kroeger's 47.8 yards per punt last season were a career high and he earned first-team All-SEC honors and won the Gamecocks' Jim Carlen Award, given to the MVP on special teams.
The Jets will resume training camp practices on Monday.
