Veteran CB Marcus Cooper adds needed depth to New York Jets secondary

Veteran cornerback Marcus Cooper, who was cut by the Detriot Lions, will come to a Jets team that is stricken with injuries at the cornerback position. Earlier this week Trumaine Johnson pulled his hamstring and will miss time.

According to Brian Costello of the New York Post, head coach Adam Gase told Costello and the rest of the media that Trumaine Johnson will be “week-to-week”.

Johnson is not the only Jets cornerback that got hurt this past week rookie cornerback Kyron Brown also has a hamstring injury and will miss time as well and on top of that, New York cut 3rd-year cornerback Derrick Jones.
