  • Inactive for Week 1

    Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Ravens.

    Analysis: With Mims the odd man out in Week 1, Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, Garrett Wilson and Braxton Berrios are in line to work as the team's top wideout options versus Baltimore.

  • Walks walk after talking talk

    Mims caught seven of eight targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Days after requesting a trade, Mims put down the best game tape of his NFL career, even if it came against backup Giants defenders in the preseason. He was focused and involved throughout, most notably tying the game in the fourth quarter with a 29-yard touchdown catch down the sideline. Mims has all the physical tools to be successful in the NFL, but he fell out of favor with the Jets' coaching staff after being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft when Adam Gase still was…read more

  • Requests trade

    Mims has requested a trade from the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, Garrett Wilson and Braxton Berrios also in the Jets' wide receiver mix, there's not a clear path to steady playing time for Mims, who the team took in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. If the Jets grant Mims' request, the 6-foot-3, 207-pounder could benefit from a change of scenery if he lands in a situation where WR snaps are up for grabs.

  • Three catches against Falcons

    Mims caught three of four targets for 43 yards in Monday's 24-16 preseason win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Mims exploited some soft coverage late in the first half, getting free for a 27-yard gain to set up a Jets field goal just before halftime. New York's 2020 second-round pick hasn't noticeably stood out in a positive or negative way through two preseason games, which shows why Mims remains on the roster bubble heading into Sunday's preseason finale against the Giants.

  • Two catches in preseason opener

    Mims caught two of five targets for 25 yards in Friday's 24-21 preseason win over Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Mims was slightly more productive than Jeff Smith (one catch on two targets for 20 yards), but neither wide receiver did much to separate from the other in the battle for the fifth spot on the depth chart. Based on reports out of training camp and Smith's special teams prowess, that spot remains his to lose over Mims heading into New York's second preseason game Monday, Aug. 22 against Atlanta.

  • Draws praise from coach

    Coach Robert Saleh has praised Mims' conditioning and work ethic in training camp, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mims' goal is to become a starter, but he'll likely need some injuries to other receivers to clear the way for him to do so. In the meantime, the 2020 second-round pick is putting himself in position to make the Jets' roster by doing everything the coaching staff asks of him. Mims has been working with the special-teams unit to raise his value as a depth receiver while also impressing coaches with his run blocking in offensive drills.

  • Adding lean muscle

    Mims has been getting bigger and leaner while working with trainer Chad Marr this offseason, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Mims lost 20 pounds due to food poisoning prior to last season and was never able to get going, finishing his second NFL campaign with just eight catches. According to Marr, Mims simultaneously has put on weight yet gotten leaner by adding muscle. With Elijah Moore, Corey Davis and Braxton Berrios all ahead of Mims on the depth chart and the Jets looking into adding another wide receiver through the draft or a trade, the 2020 second-round pick out of Baylor will have to show noticeable…read more

  • Just eight catches in second year

    Mims caught eight of 23 targets for 133 yards in 11 games during the 2021 season.

    Analysis: Mims was frequently in the doghouse, and his on-field play explained why. His routes were rarely crisp, and when Mims managed to get open, he was plagued by drops. It's a major indictment on his development that Mims barely saw the field down the stretch, even as the Jets were routinely without their top two or three wide receivers due to injuries. The 2020 second-round pick out of Baylor has all the physical attributes to excel in the NFL, but he's far from guaranteed a spot on the roster next…read more

  • Another goose egg in Week 16

    Mims didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-21 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Mims has been targeted five times over the past two games and came away without a catch. The Jets were hoping the 2020 second-round pick would step up with the team's receiving corps banged up, but Mims has failed to make anything of his recent opportunities.

  • Another catchless game

    Mims didn't catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Mims left the game due to cramps but was able to make his return. He has just one catch in three games since returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list, so Mims' lack of production overshadows the allure of New York's favorable Week 16 matchup against Jacksonville.

  • Returns from cramps

    Mims (cramps) has returned to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Mims was deemed questionable to return after cramping up during the first half, but he was able to retake the field after receiving some treatment.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Mims is dealing with cramping and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Mims did not record a catch. In his absence, Jamison Crowder, Keelan Coleand Braxton Berrios will head the Jets' Week 15 wideout corps.

  • Held without a catch by Saints

    Mims failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Mims has just one catch over the past two weeks despite Corey Davis (groin) missing most of one and all of the other, and Elijah Moore (quadriceps) missing all of the latter. There should be ample playing time for Mims down the stretch with Davis done for the year and Moore out until at least Week 17, but Mims' floor remains extremely low due to his own struggles and those of rookie quarterback Zach Wilson.

  • One catch in return

    Mims caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 33-18 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Corey Davis exited early after aggravating his groin injury and Keelan Cole missed the game while on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but Mims still failed to make much of an impact. New York's second-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft is starting to look like a bust, though a 16-game sample size is admittedly a small one. If Mims turns things around, it's unlikely to be this season, as he's yet to exceed two catches or 40 yards in a game in 2021.

  • Opportunity knocks in return

    Mims should see an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Joey Chandler of NJ Advance Media reports.

    Analysis: Mims' return from the reserve/COVID-19 list coincided with Keelan Cole's placement on the list, and Corey Davis (groin) is a game-time decision. Even if Davis suit up, he's not expected to play his usual complement of snaps, creating an opportunity for Mims to make some noise in his return. The 2020 second-round pick's career is off to an underwhelming start, but Mims could begin to turn the narrative around by making the most of this opportunity.

  • Returns from COVID-19 list

    The Jets activated Mims from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Mims, who has missed the Jets' last three games, is thus slated to return to practice Wednesday. With Keelan Cole recently becoming the latest Jets receiver to land on the reserve/COVID-19 list and with Corey Davis day-to-day with a groin injury, Mims' return to the mix comes at a convenient time. If both Cole and Davis are sidelined for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Mims could have a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside starters Elijah Moore and Jamison Crowder. In six contests…read more

  • Ready to retake field

    Mims (illness) will return to practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Mims has missed the team's last three games while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. It appears that he'll be ready to retake the field for a Week 13 matchup against the Eagles, though he'll still need to be formally activated by the Jets. Mims has recorded seven receptions for 129 yards across six contests on the campaign.

  • Uncertain for Week 11

    Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Mims' availability for Sunday's game against the Dolphins is "in doubt," Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. The receiver has been on the reserve/ COVID-19 list since Nov. 9.

    Analysis: Mims requires one more negative COVID-19 test in order to clear the league's protocols, but the Jets could need to see him at practice before making him active on game day. The second-year pro missed Week 10 while on the COVID-19 list, and with all of Corey Davis, Elijah Moore, Jamison Crowder and Keelan Cole available, it's unclear how significant a role Mims will be asked to play even if he does suit up versus Miami.

  • Won't play Week 10

    Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Mims (illness) will not come off the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Saleh noted that Mims has symptoms, and that he will thus not be eligible to return to action until Week 11 versus the Dolphins, at the earliest. Through six appearances this season Mims has translated 14 targets into just seven catches for 129 yards, without a touchdown. On a brighter note for QB Mike White and the Jets, Corey Davis (hip) appears to be trending in the right direction.

  • Heads to COVID-19 list

    The Jets placed Mims on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after he tested positive for the virus, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: According to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Mims is vaccinated, so he'll be eligible to rejoin the Jets when he's asymptomatic for at least 48 hours and has submitted consecutive negative tests at least 24 hours apart. That timeline gives him a shot to play Sunday against the Bills, but Mims could be in store for a smaller role in any case if top wideout Corey Davis (hip) is able to put an end to a two-game absence, as expected. Mims played 61 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps in last week's 45-30…read more

  • Struggling with drops

    Mims caught one of five targets for 20 yards in Thursday's 45-30 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Mims has been plagued by drops, and those struggles continued Thursday, most notably on one play that would have gone for a decent gain had Mims secured the catch. He tried to turn and run with the ball before catching it, and it fell to the ground incomplete. Even if Corey Davis (hip) misses further time, Mims won't make much of the extra playing time if he continues to drop the ball.

  • Not on Week 9 injury report

    Mims (finger) didn't appear on the Jets' initial Week 9 injury report released Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After a thrilling 34-31 victory over the Bengals on Sunday, the Jets didn't hold a formal practice Monday, with the report instead being labeled as an estimate. Regardless, Mims' exclusion from the report indicates the Jets have no concern that the finger injury the wideout sustained against Cincinnati will prevent him from playing Thursday against the Colts. In the absence of No. 1 wideout Corey Davis (hip), Mims saw a slightly larger role Week 8, drawing three targets and recording two…read more

  • Hurts finger against Bengals

    Mims exited in the second half of Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a finger injury, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mims caught two of three targets for 30 yards prior to getting hurt. The ball he didn't catch bounced off his chest in the end zone. The Jets have a short turnaround before Thursday's Week 9 game against the Colts, but if Mims heals up and Corey Davis (hip) doesn't, the second-year wideout out of Baylor would likely be in line for increased playing time once again.

  • Ready to fill in for Davis

    With Corey Davis (hip) expected to sit out Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mims is in line to take on a larger role, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 1-5 Jets should start to set their sights on the future, which means giving Mims, whom they selected in the second round of the 2020 draft, opportunities over the likes of veteran retread Keelan Cole in Davis' absence. Mims has had a muted impact thus far, producing just four catches for 79 yards while sitting out two of New York's first six games as a healthy scratch. He'll have a chance to rewrite the disappointing narrative of his sophomore season against Cincinnati, though Mims will…read more

  • Held to six yards in New England

    Mims caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Mims still can't carve out a consistent role in the low-octane Jets offense. Perhaps the team will entrust the second-year wideout with a larger role in Week 8 against the Bengals now that that it's clear beyond a doubt that this will be another rebuilding season for the 1-5 Jets.

  • Three targets in eight snaps

    Mims caught two of three targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Mims played just eight offensive snaps, so at least he was noticeable in his limited time on the field. He's had trouble earning playing time thus far, but the Jets' upcoming Week 6 bye could give Mims an opportunity to convince the coaching staff he deserves a larger role with some strong practice showings.

    Mims (illness) returned to practice as a full participant Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The wide receiver was sent home early Wednesday with a non-COVID-19 illness, but he was back in good health Thursday. In two games this season, he has one catch for 40 yards.

    Mims was sent home from practice Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19 illness, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mims showed up to the facility Wednesday and attended team meetings, but he was sent home since he wasn't feeling well. The 23-year-old is expected to be back at practice Thursday, and the ailment shouldn't affect his availability for this weekend.

  • Limited to decoy duties

    Mims wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Tennessee.

    Analysis: Mims suited up for the first time since Week 1 but didn't get any attention from quarterback Zach Wilson, even as Wilson threw for a career-high 297 yards. The 2020 second-round pick's knowledge of the playbook has been questioned, and it appears the Jets still don't feel comfortable counting on Mims to contribute. He has just one target all season, though he was able to catch that one for a 40-yard gain.

    Mims will be active Sunday against the Titans, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Mims was a healthy scratch the past two games despite Jamison Crowder (groin) being sidelined, but the 2020 second-round pick will be active for Week 4. Elijah Moore and Jeff Smith are each sidelined with a concussion this weekend to open the opportunity, but Mims may not have a significant offensive role with Crowder trending toward playing Sunday.

    Mims is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Mims (coach's decision) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Broncos, per coach Robert Saleh, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Saleh praised Mims' week of practice but didn't commit to activating the 2020 second-round pick after scratching him last week. The Jets have been dressing five receivers on game day to give themselves flexibility elsewhere. Corey Davis and Elijah Moore are locks to start every week, Jeff Smith is the gunner on special teams, and Keelan Cole and Braxton Berrios are both reliable veterans.

    Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Even with fellow receivers Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) and Keelan Cole (knee) sidelined for the Week 1 loss to the Panthers, Mims was on the field for just three snaps and caught his lone target for a 40-yard reception. Though Crowder remains out with a groin injury Week 2, the return of Cole for his season debut will push Mims further down the pecking order. Mims' lack of contributions on special teams could result in him being a fixture on the inactive list in 2021 when the Jets' receiver room…read more

  • Makes 40-yard catch

    Mims hauled in his only target for a 40-yard catch in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Mims didn't see much usage but made a big play on the Jets' final drive. His catch helped set up Corey Davis' second receiving touchdown of the game, but the Jets failed to get the ball back as Carolina ran out the clock. Mims is coming off a tough camp during which he lost significant weight due to food poisoning, but the 2020 second-round pick will look to carve out a larger role in the offense as the season progresses, starting with Week 2 against New England.

    Analysis: A hip injury sidelined Mims for the final two weeks of August, but it won't threaten his availability for Week 1. Playing time is the real concern, even if slot man Jamison Crowder remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list through Sunday. The Jets also have veteran wideouts Corey Davis and Keelan Cole on hand, plus second-round pick Elijah Moore and backup slot man Braxton Berrios.

    Analysis: Mims has been sidelined in training camp since Aug. 19. The 23-year-old appeared in nine games as a rookie, notching 23 catches for 357 yards. With Zach Wilson at the helm this season, Mims appears to be in line for a more productive sophomore campaign as long as he can stay healthy.

    Mims (undisclosed) did not play in Friday's preseason game against Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Mims' undisclosed injury from Aug. 19 hasn't resolved itself yet, but it was believed to be a manageable injury at the time. Perhaps Mims can get back into practice soon and jumpstart his pursuit of a meaningful role in the Jets offense, but an offseason littered with difficulties likely has him behind all of Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, Elijah Moore and Keelan Cole for the time being. The Jets play Carolina in Week 1.

    Mims (undisclosed) is not in line to play Saturday against the Packers, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Based on warmups, both Mims and Elijah Moore (quadriceps) will be unavailable Saturday. The Baylor product was carted to the locker room earlier this week with an undisclosed injury, capping off what has been, to date, a miserable training camp for the 2020 second-round pick. Mims still has an opportunity to hit the practice field in the next couple of days in an effort to participate in the team's final preseason contest coming up against the Eagles on Friday.

The second-year wideout has already endured a rough offseason, after a recent and severe bout of food poisoning caused him to lose weight, but as of late he appears to have been working his way back up the depth chart.

  • Impressive YAC effort

    Mims caught three of four targets for 51 yards in Saturday's 12-7 preseason win over the Giants.

    Analysis: His production came against the Giants' backups, but Mims still led the Jets in receiving yards. He displayed an excellent mix of elusiveness and power with the ball in his hands to convert a third-and-18 with a terrific effort after catching the ball well short of the sticks. Mims also added a tackle on special teams, showing the coaching staff that he's willing to put in the work necessary to make the roster in a depth role. The 2020 second-round pick's development has been derailed up to…read more

  • Regaining form after food poisoning

    Mims had a severe case of food poisoning that resulted in him losing 20 pounds earlier this offseason, but he has started to regain fitness and has looked better in practices recently, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mims dropped from 217 pounds to 197, so it's no surprise he struggled early on in camp. Now that his fitness is returning, Mims has finally had the chance to work with first-team quarterback Zach Wilson, per Connor Hughes of The Athletic, after previously being limited to second- and third-team reps. While Mims' role within a Jets receiving corps that's deeper than in years past is still in question, he at least appears to be climbing up the depth chart again after steadily sliding down up to…read more

  • Sliding down depth chart

    Mims has split his practice time between the second- and third-team offense, and there are five or six receivers working ahead of him, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Not only are the likes of Corey Davis, Elijah Moore and Jamison Crowder working ahead of Mims, so are Keelan Cole, Vyncint Smith and occasionally Braxton Berrios. The 2020 second-round pick out of Baylor seems closer to getting cut than starting at this point, though Mims still has time to turn things around with the preseason coming up.

  • Working with second team

    Mims has worked with the second-team offense throughout minicamp, and that remained the case as the Jets began practicing Wednesday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mims is clearly behind offseason addition Keelan Cole -- who has been working with the first-team offense -- in the battle for the starting spot opposite Corey Davis. The 2020 second-round pick out of Baylor has excellent measurables, but until Mims develops as a route runner and polishes his game, he may not see a steady snap/target share.

  • Will need to win spot

    Mims will need to improve his play inside the numbers to earn a starting spot on the outside, according to offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, DJ Bien-Aime II of the New York Daily News reports. "(Mims) plays big on the outside. He's got the length and the radius," LaFleur said. "We're gonna get him playing better inside the numbers."

    Analysis: By "inside the numbers", LaFleur means shorter routes over the middle such as slants and crosses, which are the bread and butter of LaFleur's West Coast offensive scheme. Mims was drafted in the second round in 2020 predominantly for the field-stretching ability he showed at Baylor, and while he's probably the Jets' top deep threat, Mims will need to round out his game to earn the starting spot opposite Corey Davis over rookie Elijah Moore and veteran addition Keelan Cole. An illness capped…read more

  • Facing snap competition

    The Jets have added Corey Davis and Keelan Cole to a wideout group that returns Mims and Jamison Crowder, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Jets likely envision Davis, Crowder and Mims as their top three, in some order, with Cole then filling in as a high-end No. 4 who can be the top backup for multiple receiver spots. Mims was held back by hamstring injuries and a concussion during his rookie season, but as a recent second-round pick he should have every chance to lock down a starting job. He'll likely be catching his passes from a rookie QB, with the majority of mock drafts linking the Jets to BYU's Zach Wilson.

  • Diagnosed with concussion

    Mims suffered a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Mims' rookie season is over. He added a 15-yard reception in Week 17, bringing his total for the year to 23 receptions for 357 yards and no touchdowns through nine games. Mims' top priority will be to get healthy as he seeks a larger role in 2021.

  • Blanked by Browns

    Mims failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Mims was targeted on New York's first offensive play but saw just one target the rest of the way, as Jamison Crowder, Braxton Berrios and Chris Herndon combined for 14 of New York's 17 catches. The rookie receiver out of Baylor has just 18 yards in two games since missing Week 14 to tend to a personal matter. Getting back on track won't be easy against the Patriots in Week 17.

    Mims (foot) practiced fully Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to a three-catch, 18-yard effort in this past Sunday's win over the Rams, the rookie wideout had logged at least 40 receiving yards in each of his first six NFL contests. He'll look to bounce back this weekend against a Cleveland defense that held the Giants to six points Week 15 but has allowed an average of 246.5 passing yards per game overall this season.

    Analysis: Mims had managed to stay injury-free after having his NFL debut delayed by injuries to his hamstrings, but he finds himself back on the Jets' practice report as the team prepares for Sunday's game against the Browns. If the rookie receiver can avoid a setback, he should be able to take the field this weekend, looking to bounce back from an 18-yard outing in the Week 15 win over the Rams.

  • Career-low yardage total in win

    Mims caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Mims returned to the lineup after a one-game absence that resulted from his inability to fulfill COVID-19 protocols in time after leaving the team facility to tend to a family matter. The rookie finished with fewer than 40 yards for the first time in seven games, but he'll gladly trade the lack of yardage for his first taste of victory at the NFL level, even if it may end up costing the Jets the chance to draft their future quarterback of choice first overall.

    Analysis: Mims missed the Jets' loss to Seattle over the weekend due to a personal matter, but he's back with the team and ready to suit up Week 15. The rookie second-round pick will rejoin Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman as one of New York's starting wideouts versus the Rams.

    Analysis: Coach Adam Gase indicated that Mims' personal issue could affect the rookie's status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, so his situation will warrant monitoring throughout the week. Mims caught two of his three targets for 40 yards and added a two-point conversion in the Jets' Week 13 loss to the Raiders.

    Mims hauled in two of three targets for 40 yards and also caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Mims isn't exactly lighting it up, but the rookie second-round pick has carved out a prominent role in New York's underwhelming passing attack, totaling at least 40 receiving yards in all six of his games. He's still in search of his first career touchdown heading into a Week 14 trip to Seattle.

The rookie second-round pick is still searching for his first career touchdown heading into a Week 13 home date with the Raiders, but Mims has now topped 60 yards in each of the past three games.

    Analysis: Mims also drew a couple of pass interference penalties, as Joe Flacco consistently searched him out downfield. The rookie second-round pick led the team in targets and receiving yards in the best game of his young career. Mims is starting to find his stride after having his debut delayed to Week 7 by hamstring injuries, and he'll continue his search for his first career touchdown when the Dolphins come to town in Week 12.

    Analysis: Mims showed his usefulness as a speed weapon down the seam, hauling in a 26-yard gain early. The rookie then helped move the sticks a couple times, building on his encouraging first two showings as a pro. Through three games, Mims sports 10 receptions on 18 targets for 146 yards, flashing his promise as the Jets head into their Week 10 bye without a win this season.

Inexplicably, quarterback Sam Darnold stopped looking the rookie's way after that, instead preferring to pepper slot receiver Braxton Berrios with short passes.

Breshad Perriman exited in the fourth quarter with a possible concussion and Jamison Crowder missed this game with a groin injury, so Mims could find himself serving as quarterback Sam Darnold's de facto No. 1 wide receiver in Week 8 against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The 2020 second-round pick is set to make his rookie debut Sunday against the Bills after Mims put together a second straight week of practice. It's possible Mims could be featured immediately, especially if Jamison Crowder (groin) is unable to play, although a Crowder absence more than likely sets the stage for Braxton Berrios and Jeff Smith to take over in the slot, with Mims operating as the second outside receiver opposite Breshad Perriman.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick was designated to return from injured reserve last week and has resumed taking part in team drills, but the Jets' wholesale health issues could result in the team prioritizing adding a player at a different position rather than clearing a roster spot for Mims' activation.

According to Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York, head coach Adam Gase merely said there's "a chance" Mims will be active Week 7, so the rookie's status for the weekend may ultimately hinge on what he's able to do in practice over the next few days.

    Analysis: Mims still hasn't been officially activated to the 53-man roster, but Gase notes that he was impressive while working with the scout team last week. The Jets finally have both Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman available, so Mims may only serve as the No. 3 receiver at best upon his return, but the team remains desperate for a spark on offense.

    Analysis: Mims took a significant step forward in his recovery from his double-hamstring injury Wednesday, when he took part in practice after being designated to return from IR. Since Mims is not yet a member of the 53-man roster, the Jets don't have to disclose the extent of his activity on their injury reports, but the rookie was able to get in some reps with New York's main group as well as the scout team, according to Cimini.

    Analysis: Mims was cleared to return to practice Wednesday, but he'll still need some time to get up to game speed after being sidelined since early August due to injuries to both hamstrings. The rookie second-round pick out of Baylor should get the opportunity to climb the wide receiver depth chart quickly once he's ready for game action, but it makes sense for New York to bring Mims along slowly after his extensive absence.

    Analysis: Though Mims is eligible to be designated to return from injured reserve, the Jets aren't yet willing to open a 21-day window to evaluate the rookie wideout in practice.

    The Jets placed Mims (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Mims sat out the Jets' season-opening loss to the Bills with the injury, and the team apparently wasn't confident that he would make a full recovery from his hamstring issue in the immediate future. As a result of the transaction, he won't be eligible to make his NFL debut until the Jets' Week 5 matchup with the Cardinals on Oct. 11.

Mims has been out since the start of training camp in mid-August, with the prolonged absence likely impacting his ability to earn a key Week 1 role.

    Analysis: This has been a pesky injury for the rookie second-round pick, as he hasn't practiced in over a week.

Smith is visiting a specialist Monday to evaluate his core muscle injury, and the Jets have signed 32-year-old Chris Hogan to provide depth in the meantime.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick likely is dealing with an injury, though nothing has been reported by player or team. Once he's healthy, Mims should compete with Vyncint Smith for a top-three role at wide receiver alongside Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman.

  • Signs rookie deal with Jets

    Mims has agreed to a four-year, $5.4 million deal with the Jets, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: The 2020 second-rounder's game needs some polish, but at 6-foot-3, 207 pounds and with a 4.38 40-yard dash, Mims has the size and speed to be an effective outside receiver for the Jets. Jamison Crowder figures to lead the team in targets out of the slot, and Breshad Perriman was signed to be the team's top downfield threat. However, beyond that duo, there's a path to targets for Mims as a rookie, given the drop-off in the Jets' wideout corps after its top three options.
