Jets Coach Revealed What He Told Malachi Corley After Goal-Line Blunder New York escaped with a win despite the rookie’s game-changing turnover.

Tosses ball away to negate TD Corley rushed once for 18 yards and lost a fumble in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.
Impact 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.

Active for Week 8 Corley is not among the Jets' inactives for their battle against New England on Sunday, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.
Impact 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 while playing 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.

Inactive again Sunday Corley (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday night's contest against the Steelers.
Impact 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 to be unlikely to make much of an impact with New York in the near future.

Won't play Monday night Corley (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Bills.
Impact Corley had been active for the Jets' first four games of the season, but Monday's healthy scratch marks the second consecutive game that the rookie will be inactive. The Jets' wide receiver corps for Week 6 will consist of Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mike Williams, Xavier Gipson and Irvin Charles.

Healthy inactive for Week 5 Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
Impact The rookie third-round pick out of Western Kentucky had been active for each of the Jets' first four games, but he played just three total snaps (two on offense, one on special teams) in Weeks 1 through 3, and he didn't see the field at all in the Week 4 loss to the Broncos. Corley will now find himself on the inactive list for the first time all season while the Jets have five wide receivers suit up ahead of him.

Makes first NFL catch Corley caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
Impact For a second consecutive week, Corley was on the field for only one snap, but he was targeted on that snap this time, resulting in his first NFL catch. The rookie third-round draft pick isn't seeing the field enough to be an impact player at this stage of his career, and Corley's unlikely to see a significant increase in usage Thursday against the Patriots.

Quiet in preseason finale Corley recorded one catch on three targets for five yards in Saturday's 10-6 preseason win over the Giants.
Impact Corley played for the entire first half and appeared regularly in 11 personnel. His play remained inconsistent, as he was called for a holding penalty on the team's first drive and also had a reception reversed for failing to complete the process of the catch. Given his status as a third-round pick, Corley's roster spot should be safe. However, his ability to contribute immediately offensively is far less clear.
