Ossai (foot) and Nwangwu (back) missed Week 1. Fitzpatrick (groin) and Cooper (ankle) were both hurt in the season-opening win over the Tennessee Titans.
The Jets backups at safety are Andre Cisco and
Malachi Moore, while Isaiah Williams is expected to be the Jets' third receiver with Cooper out and a returner with Nwangwu out.
Glenn did confirm that edge rusher Will McDonald IV and rookie cornerback D'Angelo Ponds will be good to go for Sunday. McDonald popped up on the injury report with an ankle injury on Thursday, while Ponds missed Week 1 due to a calf injury. A second-round pick out of Indiana, Ponds is set to make his NFL debut against the Packers.
Matt LaFleur's team will release their own injury report later in the day on Friday.
