  • No TDs through three seasons

    Mims wasn't targeted in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: He finishes the season with 11 catches for 186 yards on 25 targets. Since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Mims has yet to score a touchdown in 30 career games. He received opportunities earlier in the season when the Jets dealt with injuries to other wideouts but struggled to do much with his chances while battling drops. It's hard to describe Mims as anything but a bust at this point, and given that he doesn't contribute on special teams, the 25-year-old wide receiver…read more

  • Targeted once in Week 17

    Mims didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 23-6 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Mims suited up after clearing concussion protocol but played a minimal role with each of New York's top three wide receivers healthy. The disappointing second-round selection from the 2020 NFL Draft will likely remain buried in a depth role when the Jets close their season out in Miami in Week 18.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Mims (concussion) will play Sunday against the Seahawks, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mims will be back on the field Sunday after he missed the Jets' Week 16 loss to the Jaguars while recovering from the concussion he sustained the week prior versus Detroit. With the Jets in a must-win situation, they'll get some added depth at wide receiver with Mims' return. The 25-year-old has compiled 11 catches for 186 yards over eight contests this season.

  • Practices fully Thursday

    Mims (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After logging a limited session Wednesday, Mims progressed to a full practice Thursday, which has him trending toward being active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Friday's final injury report will confirm whether Mims has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, and, if so, he should head into the weekend minus a Week 17 injury designation.

  • Reaches final step of protocol

    Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Mims returned to practice Wednesday and is in the final stage of concussion protocol, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Mims looks on track to return for Sunday's game in Seattle, though perhaps only as the No. 4 or 5 wide receiver now that Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore are all healthy.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Mims (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mims had only four days to clear the NFL's concussion protocol after suffering the brain injury in Sunday's 21-19 loss to Detroit. The good news for the Jets is that Corey Davis is back in the lineup, joining Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios to form a talented and varied wideout group. Mims' next chance to play will come Jan. 1 at Seattle.

  • Not practicing

    Mims (concussion) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Mims had been filling in for Corey Davis, who was a full participant Tuesday after missing the past couple games in concussion protocol. Jeff Smith, who replaced Mims in Sunday's loss to the Lions, also missed Tuesday's practice (with a knee injury). It thus appears Davis could be back in the lineup and handling a full-time role Thursday night against Jacksonville.

  • Listed as DNP on practice estimate

    Mims (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mims was limited to six snaps in Sunday's loss to the Lions and now will need to clear the concussion protocol in short order to have a chance to suit up Thursday night against the Jaguars. Also appearing on Monday's practice estimate were fellow wideouts Jeff Smith (knee, DNP) and Corey Davis (concussion, limited) , which makes the trio's status worth monitoring ahead of Week 16 action.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Mims (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Prior to being evaluated for a concussion, Mims caught one of his two targets for 13 yards. The wideout will now look to gain clearance to play in advance of Thursday's contest against the Jaguars.

  • Evaluated for concussion

    Mims is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Mims caught one of his two targets for 13 yards. In his absence, Braxton Berrios and Jeff Smith could see added WR snaps alongside Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore.

  • Three catches after Davis injury

    Mims caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Mims was more involved after Corey Davis (head) exited in the first half. Davis took a knee to the head, so his absence may linger through Week 15 against the Lions and beyond, and Mims should see an uptick in playing time for the duration of his fellow wide receiver's absence.

  • One target in Week 13

    Mims didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: The only ball thrown Mims' way was a deep jump ball along the sidelines. It hit him in the hands but he failed to come down with it. His struggles with drops will continue to limit Mims' value moving forward.

  • Minimal role as other WRs shine

    Mims caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Mims' only catch led to points, as he gained 11 yards on 3rd and 13 to get the Jets in range for a 57-yard Greg Zuerlein field goal just before halftime. New York took a 17-10 lead into the locker room, then put the game away with 14 unanswered points in the second half. Fellow wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore combined for three touchdowns in Mike White's season debut under center, while Mims didn't make much of an impact, suggesting benched quarterback Zach Wilson may not have…read more

  • Will be active this weekend

    Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Mims will remain active for Sunday's game against the Bears even with Corey Davis (knee) set to rejoin the lineup, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While Corey Davis missed each of New York's previous three games, Mims subsequently moved up the depth chart and recorded five receptions for 123 yards in that span. Now that Davis is in line to return in Week 12, Mims will likely see his opportunities take a hit, but the 25-year-old looks like he won't fall out of the game plan entirely. Expect him to serve as the top backup option on the perimeter behind Davis and Garrett Wilson, while Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios handle slot-receiver…read more

  • Sets up FG with 34-yard grab

    Mims caught two of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 10-3 loss to New England.

    Analysis: The first pass thrown to Mims was a blatant drop, but he redeemed himself with a 34-yard catch down the sideline in the second quarter to set up a field goal for New York's only points of the game. Mims led the team in targets and accounted for nearly half of Zach Wilson's 77 passing yards as the Jets put forth an abhorrent performance on offense. If Corey Davis (knee) is ready to play in Week 12 against the Bears, Mims will likely be relegated to a depth role, as the 2020 second-round pick…read more

  • One catch in Week 9 win

    Mims caught one of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Mims got both hands on a high throw but couldn't secure it to convert on 3rd-and-7 in the second quarter, forcing the Jets to punt in Bills territory. He remained a non-factor for most of the afternoon but made a big play down the stretch, securing a 12-yard catch to convert a third down deep in Buffalo territory. That conversion allowed New York to run more valuable time off the clock late in the fourth quarter before Greg Zuerlein kicked what proved to be the game-winning field goal. Mims'…read more

  • Expected to remain starter

    Mims is expected to retain a starting role Week 9 against the Bills with Corey Davis (knee) still sidelined, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Jets plan to deploy Mims as a starter on the outside opposite Garrett Wilson for a second consecutive week with Davis unavailable. Elijah Moore, who previously had seen significant time on the outside, seems to have been demoted to a part-time slot role after complaining about a lack of targets. With Davis out Week 8, Mims caught two of three targets for 76 yards.

  • Could stay in lineup

    Mims has a chance at remaining in the lineup even after Corey Davis (knee) returns, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that he feels like "something switched" in Mims a few weeks ago and that the wide receiver could stay in the lineup even when Corey Davis comes back from his knee injury. Mims appears to have surpassed Elijah Moore on the depth chart and has produced 80 receiving yards on three catches over the last two games.

  • Makes 63-yard catch with Davis out

    Mims caught two of three targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Mims' 63-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter set up Tyler Conklin's second touchdown of the game, but it was too little too late for the Jets, who saw their four-game winning streak come to an end. Corey Davis' (knee) absence provided more opportunities for Mims in this one, but Mims would be relegated to a reserve role if Davis returns in Week 9 against the Bills.

  • One catch in season debut

    Mims caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Activated for the first time this season with Elijah Moore (personal) sitting at home, Mims delivered a mixed bag. He threw a key block on Breece Hall's (knee) 62-yard touchdown run but was also tagged with an offensive pass interference penalty while trying to block on a screen pass and had a drop on a ball that was admittedly thrown a bit behind him. Mims will likely remain active in Week 8 against the Patriots as a replacement for either Moore or Corey Davis (knee).

  • In line to be active for Week 7

    Mims will be active for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Mims is set to be active in Week 7 for the first time this season, seemingly replacing Elijah Moore (personal) in the wide receiver corps. Mims caught eight passes for 133 yards while playing in 11 games with the Jets last year.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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 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.

    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 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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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. Mims has yet to make his NFL debut since sustaining injuries to both of his hamstrings in training camp. The status of fellow wideout Jamison Crowder (groin) could play a role in the Jets'…read more

  • Set for team reps Wednesday

    Mims (hamstring) is expected to take part in live team drills during Wednesday's practice, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mims, who practiced with the scout team last week, looks set to ramp up his workload in preparation for potentially making his NFL debut Sunday versus the Bills. 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.

  • Could debut Week 7

    Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Mims (hamstring) could have a chance to make his NFL debut against the Bills on Sunday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    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. Coming off a 24-0 loss to the Dolphins, New York maybe compelled to see what Mims can do with a few opportunities Week 7, if he's indeed activated in…read more

  • Not ruled out for Week 6

    Jets head coach Adam Gase was unwilling to rule Mims (hamstrings) out from returning from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game in Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    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. Given that his hamstring injuries date back to training camp, Mims will…read more

  • Unlikely to play in Week 6

    Mims (hamstrings) is unlikely to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    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.

  • Back at practice Wednesday

    Mims (hamstring) will practice Wednesday after the Jets designated him to return from injured reserve, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Mims' return to practice marks his first on-field action since he was placed on IR in mid-September. The transaction opens up a 21-day window for the Jets to evaluate Mims for a return to the active roster. Coach Adam Gase was unwilling ot say whether the rookie second-round pick will be ready to make his NFL deut Sunday against the Dolphins.

  • Not yet ready to practice

    Mims (hamstring) isn't present at Wednesday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

    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. Since Mims will presumably need to turn in a full week of practice before making his NFL debut, he's looking unlikely to be activated and added to the 53-man roster ahead of the team's next game Sunday versus the Cardinals.

  • Moved to IR

    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. His move to IR leaves Braxton Berrios as the only healthy depth receiver on the roster behind starters Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and Chris Hogan.

  • Ruled out for opener

    Mims (hamstrings) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mims practiced fully Wednesday, was listed as limited Thursday and then sat out practice altogether Friday. The 59th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft will thus have his pro debut delayed until at least Week 2. As a result, Chris Hogan figures to serve as the Jets' No. 3 receiver Sunday behind Breshad Perriman and Jamison Crowder.

  • Could miss Week 1

    Mims aggravated a hamstring injury and, according to head coach Adam Gase, is "not looking good" for Sunday's season opener against the Bills, Chris Iseman of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: Mims has been slowed by injuries in both hamstrings for the last several weeks, and he tweaked one of them at Thursday's practice and won't take the field Friday. His status for Week 1 won't be revealed until after practice, but it looks like the rookie may have to wait to make his NFL debut.

  • Listed as limited Thursday

    Mims (hamstrings) was limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mims practiced fully Wednesday, which suggests that he may have tweaked one or both of his hamstrings during Thursday's practice session. The rookie wideout dealt with injuries to both hamstrings during training camp, but it's unclear whether his limitations Thursday were directly related. If available Sunday in Buffalo, Mims could push for the Jets' No. 3 receiver spot behind Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman.

  • Practicing without restrictions

    Coach Adam Gase said Mims (hamstring) will be a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mims was sidelined for much of August due to a hamstring injury, but he appears to have managed to return to full health ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Bills. Fellow wideout Breshad Perriman (knee) will also practice in full. The rookie second-round pick could still push for the Jets' No. 3 receiver spot early in his career, but Mims' lengthy absence during training camp could set the stage for veteran wideout Chris Hogan (undisclosed) to begin the season in a starting role…read more

  • Not yet a starter

    Mims (hamstring) is listed as a member of the second team on New York's unofficial depth chart Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Mims still appears on track for Week 1, but the hamstring injury that caused him to miss much of training camp appears to have knocked him out of contention for an immediate starting gig. The rookie second-round pick could still be in the mix for playing time during Sunday's season opener against the Bills, but for now Chris Hogan (undisclosed) looks to have a grip on the No. 3 receiver role behind Jamison Crowder (lower leg) and Breshad Perriman (knee). If any of the Jets' starters end up…read more

  • Gearing up for Week 1

    Mims (hamstring) said Wednesday that he'll "most definitely be ready" for the Jets' Week 1 game at Buffalo, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Mims went through individual drills Wednesday, marking his first practice participation of any kind since the start of training camp. He may be too late to earn a Week 1 starting job, but he should at least be in the mix for some playing time, especially if the Jets don't get some good news on their other injured wide receivers. Jamison Crowder (lower leg) and Chris Hogan (undisclosed) seem to be fine, but Vyncint Smith (core muscle) is facing a prolonged absence, while Breshad Perriman's…read more

  • Cleared for individual drills

    Mims (hamstring) is taking part in individual drills Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This is his first on-field participation of any kind throughout training camp, after coach Adam Gase suggested Tuesday that Mims could be available for practice at some point this week. The rookie will need to advance to team drills before he's cleared for Week 1 at Buffalo, and while the prolonged absence likely has cost him any shot to compete for a starting job, it isn't out of the question for Mims to get some snaps in the season opener.

  • Hoping to practice this week

    Coach Adam Gase said Tuesday that Mims (hamstring) could return to practice at some point this week, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Jets certainly could use the help, as they're currently dealing with an absurd rash of injuries at wide receiver. 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. The second-round pick should still see opportunities at some point this year, if only because the Jets lack other receiving weapons.

  • Still not able to practice

    Mims (hamstring) did not participate in Saturday's practice, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With the season less than two weeks away, it's becoming increasingly clear the 2020 second-round pick could struggle to be a factor for the Jets early on. Saturday's practice marks a two-week stretch in which the 6-foot-3 wide receiver has missed time thanks to a hamstring injury, although Brian Costello of the New York Post reports that Mims was able to run on the side field. Breshad Perriman (shoulder) and Vyncint Smith (abdomen) have also missed time throughout training camp, leaving Jamison…read more

  • Still not practicing

    Mims (hamstring) didn't participate in Sunday's practice, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This has been a pesky injury for the rookie second-round pick, as he hasn't practiced in over a week. Mims still has about three weeks to get healthy for the season opener versus Buffalo, and if he can shake the injury, he should be in line for a top-three role because Vyncint Smith (abdomen) has already been ruled out for the first two games.

  • Not practicing yet

    Mims (hamstring) missed another practice Monday morning, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While the rookie second-round pick is falling behind, Mims' top competition for a starting job (Vyncint Smith) also is dealing with an injury. 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. Mims could still be in the mix for a Week 1 start if he makes it back on the practice field by the end of the month.

  • Dealing with hamstring injury

    Mims was held out of practice Friday due to a hamstring injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York and Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News both thought coach Adam Gase sounded worried about the injury, whereas Frank Gore's hamstring ailment has been portrayed as minor. Mims did watch Friday's practice from the sideline, so he's at least getting some work from a mental standpoint. Regardless, it's not a good sign for the rookie's chances to earn a top-three role by Week 1. The Jets rolled with Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman and Vyncint Smith as…read more

  • Not practicing yet

    Mims has been watching practice from the sideline, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    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.
