The New York Jets are facing a new injury concern as No. 2 wide receiver Adonai Mitchell was limited in practice on Thursday due to a finger injury. Mitchell's status for the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions remains unclear. The Jets are already without rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr., who is sidelined with a high ankle sprain. Mitchell has made a strong start to the season, recording nine receptions for 123 yards. If Mitchell is unable to play, Garrett Wilson and return specialist Isaiah Williams would be the primary options at wide receiver. Additionally, rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq may see an expanded role. Earlier this week, the Jets signed undrafted rookie Malik McClain to the active roster from their practice squad. Former Giants receiver Sterling Shepard is also currently on the practice squad, having caught 39 passes for 371 yards and a touchdown last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In their last game, the Jets forced five fumbles but managed to recover only one. Defensive coordinator Brian Duker commented on the team's fumble recovery techniques, stating, "Largely just weird bounces — that’s how it goes sometimes." He added that the team emphasizes techniques like pouncing on the ball. Running back Breece Hall is preparing to face Lions star Jahmyr Gibbs on Sunday, noting that while he admires Gibbs' speed, he recognizes their different playing styles. Other players who did not practice include running back/kick returner Kene Nwangwu (back), tight end Mason Taylor (thumb), safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin), and linebacker Kiko Mauigoa (quad).
