Will Omar Cooper Jr. bets be refunded after injury during Jets vs. Titans NFL Week 1?

New York Jets’ wide receiver Omar Cooper left today’s matchup with an ankle injury. The rookie pass catcher tallied just one reception for 30 yards before the injury, and was tackled awkwardly when picking up yards after the catch.

Following the two teams’ halftime break, Cooper Jr. has been ruled out for the matchup due to the ankle injury.

Will Omar Cooper Jr. bets be refunded?

Thankfully for eligible Cooper prop backers on DraftKings Sportsbook, because he left the game in the first half due to injury and did not return, DraftKings’ Early Exit Protected rules apply to qualifying wagers.

Eligible single bets on Cooper will be settled as void, with the original stake returned. For qualifying parlays and Same Game Parlays, the Cooper selection will be voided and the odds of the wager will be recalculated using the remaining legs.

Bets or selections that were already determined before Cooper’s injury may still be settled normally rather than receiving Early Exit protection.

DraftKings Early Exit FAQ

What is DraftKings Early Exit?

DraftKings Early Exit Protected is a free feature that automatically protects eligible NFL player prop bets during the first half. If an eligible player leaves during the first half because of an injury or officially confirmed illness and does not return, the qualifying selection is settled as void.

Which NFL bets are eligible for Early Exit?

Early Exit applies to eligible full-game NFL player props placed before the game, along with select eligible live bets. Qualifying wagers can include single bets, parlays and Same Game Parlays. In parlays, an eligible Early Exit selection is voided and the wager is recalculated using the remaining legs.

Is there a way to get injury protection on bets for the whole game?

Yes. DraftKings Early Exit+ is an optional feature that extends Early Exit protection into the second half of an NFL game for a fee equal to 3% of the wager amount. The fee is separate from the wager and is not refunded. You can upgrade to full-game protection without leaving your bet slip.
