Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking good early in OTAs
Cowart's ability to generate pressure has stood out early on at OTAs, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Cowart had one or two sacks at Wednesday's practice, which is the first one that was open to members of the media. If he continues to impress in practice, Cowart has a chance to earn a starting role next to Quinnen Williams on the interior of the Jets' offensive line. Other players battling for that spot include Derrick Nnadi and Jay Tufele. Cowart notched 2.5 sacks with the Bears in 2024.
