Jets without WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) vs. Lions
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Jets will be without Adonai Mitchell, their most-targeted receiver last week, due to a finger injury, making him inactive for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.
- Garrett Wilson and Isaiah Williams will serve as the Jets' top wide receivers, supported by three recently added backups: Sterling Shepard, Malik McClain, and Jamaal Pritchett, with McClain and Pritchett set to make their NFL debuts.
- Mitchell sustained his finger injury during practice and, despite no fracture, has been heavily wrapped and splinted, limiting his participation.
- The Jets' receiving corps is significantly impacted by injuries, with three other receivers—Omar Cooper Jr., Tim Patrick, and Arian Smith—currently on injured reserve.
- Mitchell has been a key vertical threat for the Jets, leading the team with 15 targets, 9 receptions, and 123 yards this season.
