With punter Brett Thorson dealing with a hamstring injury, Platana suggests the Vikings have a decent chance of bringing back veteran free-agent punter Johnny Hekker as a familiar fill-in.Sep 21, 2026
- Johnny Hekker to move to Minnesota Vikings
  “Now we're entering the last week of September, and there's a decent chance that the Bothwell, WA native could make his way back to Minnesota. He's still an unsigned free agent... don't be surprised if the franchise isn't finished with Hekker just yet.”

Platana projects the Jets' post-move wide receiver depth chart for 2026 — Garrett Wilson first, Adonai Mitchell second, rookie Omar Cooper Jr. third, Isaiah Williams fourth, Tim Patrick fifth and Jamaal Pritchett sixth — with Cam Camper, Quincy Skinner Jr. and Arian Smith landing on the practice squad. He also expects a bounce-back 1,000-yard season from Wilson.Aug 19, 2026

“Practice squad: Cam Camper, Quincy Skinner Jr., Arian Smith ... they likely want to give Smith a bit more runway”
