Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Despite playing a season-high 38 snaps on offense against the Seahawks in Week 13, the decision to have Corley inactive Sunday is in large part due to the Jets activating Allen Lazard off injured reserve Saturday. The Jets have opted for Xavier Gipson and Irvin Charles as their depth wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Lazard. Corley's next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Despite playing a season-high 38 snaps on offense against the Seahawks in Week 13, the decision to have Corley inactive Sunday is in large part due to the Jets activating Allen Lazard off injured reserve Saturday. The Jets have opted for Xavier Gipson and Irvin Charles as their depth wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Lazard. Corley's next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 15.
Corley didn't catch either of his two targets and added an eight-yard run in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. Corley played 41 snaps on offense (60 percent) to Xavier Gipson's 19, suggesting that the rookie third-round pick has become the Jets' preferred option in the slot for the stretch run. While the increased playing time is encouraging, Corley has yet to capitalize. He has just 42 career scrimmage yards, and Corley's most notable play to date was an 18-yard run on which he celebrated prematurely and threw the ball away just before crossing the goal line back in Week 9.
Corley (illness) does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Corley missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness, but he was a full participant in the last two sessions of the week and will be able to play Sunday. The rookie third-rounder will continue to serve as the Jets' No. 4 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Xavier Gipson.
Corley (illness) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Corley popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to an illness, but it appears the rookie third-round wide receiver is no longer under the weather. Corley has logged two catches (on three targets) for 12 yards over the Jets' last two regular-season games.
Corley (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. After fumbling what would have been his first career touchdown out of the back of the end zone in Week 9 against the Texans, Corley has seen his offensive involvement tick upward over the last two contests, securing his second and third career catches for a total of 12 yards on 28 offensive snaps as the fourth wideout behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Xavier Gipson. Irvin Charles would be next up for snaps if Corley can't play against Seattle.
Corley caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. Corley was on the field for 12 snaps while Xavier Gipson played 27, suggesting Gipson still has the edge over the rookie third-round draft pick for playing time in the slot. Neither depth option has produced much this season with Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Breece Hall accounting for the vast majority of the Jets' offense on a consistent basis. Corley has just three catches heading into the Week 12 bye.
Corley rushed once for 18 yards and lost a fumble in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans. Corley's first NFL carry was memorable for a different reason than he would have liked, as he got into the open field and raced into the end zone but flipped the ball out of his hand as he was crossing the goal line, and a review revealed that the ball left his hand prior to crossing the goal line. It then rolled out of the back of the end zone for a touchback. The 2024 third-round draft pick has just one target in his NFL career, and while Corley showed some promising ability in the open field on his lone touch Thursday, careless mental errors won't ingratiate him with the Jets' coaching staff.
Corley is not among the Jets' inactives for their battle against New England on Sunday, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports. Corley was a healthy scratch three straight games coming into Week 8, but he'll be available to play against the Patriots. The rookie's active status comes as veteran wideout Allen Lazard is inactive due to a chest injury. Corley has just one catch on one target for four yards in only two offensive snaps in the three regular-season games he's participated in thus far, so he's unlikely to see much action Sunday.
Corley (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday night's contest against the Steelers. Corley will be a healthy scratch for the third game in a row as he remains buried on the Jets' depth chart. With the addition of Davante Adams via trade from the Raiders, Corley appears unlikely to make much of an impact with New York in the near future.
