Default Sputtering problem

Okay since you guys were very helpful with my last problem ill see what you guys think about this. My 1998 jeep cherokee sometimes after start up and take off maybe a mile or less down the road sputters out, if i stop when it is doing this i have a really rough idle but does not die. Also when it sputters out most of the time i just let up off the gas and slowly ease back into it it quits sputtering. Only thing i can think of would be o2 sensors only because my check engine light indicates something is wrong with them or it. Another thing as of a week or so ago as i was backing out my drive somehow dont ask my wires running into my downstream o2 sensor got ripped out. But my jeep was still having these symptoms before this happened just thought i would inform. Sorry for the rant any q's or suggestions would be appreciated!
