Should I Start Adonai Mitchell?

Friday, October 9, 7:08 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. It'll be his third straight missed game, although head coach Aaron Glenn offered some encouraging news about his recovery. Glenn confirmed Mitchell hasn't undergone surgery and said he's "progressing faster than we thought," but declined to clarify whether the injury is a sprain or fracture. Mitchell suffered the injury during practice ahead of Week 3 and hasn't played since. He was starting to establish himself as a bigger part of New York's passing attack, catching six of 12 targets for 63 yards against Green Bay in Week 2. The 24-year-old has nine receptions for 123 yards through two appearances this season. Isaiah Williams has been getting more opportunities in Mitchell's absence, including a 58-yard touchdown against Chicago last week. Mitchell remains week-to-week, with his next chance to return coming against New England in Week 6.
