AD Mitchell Struggles in Jets Debut With Three Drops in Prime-Time Loss

Coaches reiterated belief in the recent trade acquisition despite limited reps.

Overview

  • The former Colts receiver logged six targets and one catch for 10 yards as the Jets fell 27-14 to the Patriots on Thursday night.
  • He was charged with three drops, including a deep throw late in the first half that could have set up points.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn said Mitchell "is going to be a good player" and emphasized getting him more involved going forward.
  • Mitchell arrived in the deal that sent Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis along with two first-round picks and was inactive last week to learn the playbook.
  • With Garrett Wilson on injured reserve, the Jets expect Mitchell’s workload to grow as they travel to face the Ravens next.
