Mitchell (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Mitchell will miss his third straight game, and coach Aaron Glenn refused to provide any clarity on the situation Friday, saying he "doesn't know" if Mitchell is dealing with a sprain or fracture, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. With Mitchell out again, Isaiah Williams and Sterling Shepard will continue to soak up wideout snaps behind Garrett Wilson. Neither Williams nor Shepard is a particularly intriguing fantasy option.
Mitchell (finger) wasn't present for warmups at the start of Thursday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Mitchell is headed for a second consecutive practice absence ahead of Sunday's home game against the Browns. Head coach Aaron Glenn recently described Mitchell, who missed the past two games, as week-to-week.
Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Mitchell (finger) remains week-to-week, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Everyone sharing the ball with Adonai, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Mitchell has missed the last two games and looks on his way to missing a third straight contest. Isaiah Williams and Sterling Shepard have been rounding out three-wide sets behind Garrett Wilson, but the Jets could also get Tim Patrick (groin) back from injured reserve this week after his 21-day practice window was opened Wednesday.
Mitchell (finger) is out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt reports.
With Mitchell out last week, fellow wideout Isaiah Williams played 90 percent of snaps but drew just two targets on 39 routes. Sterling Shepard saw just one target on 22 routes as the No. 3 receiver, while WR Garrett Wilson got 13 targets and the tight ends combined for 14. Williams and Shepard could see a bit more volume this week, but the offense still figures to run through Wilson, the RBs and the TEs. As for Mitchell, his next chance to play will be Week 5 against Cleveland (Oct. 11).
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Mitchell (finger) won't practice Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Mitchell sat out the Jets' 31-24 loss to the Lions in Week 3 due to the finger injury, and his absence to begin Week 4 prep in addition to Glenn classifying him as week-to-week rather than day-to-day suggests that the receiver is trending toward another absence this Sunday versus the Bears. If Mitchell ends up sitting out a second straight game, Isaiah Williams would be in store for another elevated snap count as the Jets' No. 2 wideout behind Garrett Wilson.

Colby Colwell of SI.com relays that Mitchell has been the Jets' top performer in OTAs.
There is optimism around Mitchell heading into mandatory minicamp and training camp after the 2024 second-rounder's performance in OTAs. The big knock on Mitchell's game has been his struggles with drops during his NFL career, but that wasn't an issue during the offseason program as he constantly muscled past defenders for tough catches while displaying chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith. The Jets added both Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, but Colwell believes that Mitchell's performance in OTAs demonstrates a strong fit in the scheme of new offensive coordinator Frank Reich, which positions Mitchell as a breakout candidate for the upcoming season.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
