Story summary

Adonai Mitchell, a wide receiver for the New York Jets, recently underwent a "small procedure" to repair an injured finger but remains sidelined. Coach Aaron Glenn said that Mitchell has been moving his fingers well but is still week-to-week and appears likely to miss another game against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Mitchell originally injured his finger during practice on September 24 when he got it caught in a teammate's jersey, leading to speculation about the severity of the injury as no initial procedure was done. The Jets have not placed Mitchell on injured reserve but are cautiously optimistic about his recovery. Meanwhile, rookie Omar Cooper Jr., who missed games due to a high ankle sprain, has had his 21-day practice window opened, potentially providing relief for the struggling receiving corps.
