Jets’ Adonai Mitchell Returns To Limited Practice With Game Status Uncertain

Overview

• Coach Aaron Glenn said Mitchell resumed limited on-field work after finger surgery but that doctors must clear him and pain tolerance will determine whether he plays Sunday against Miami.
• Mitchell missed four games after injuring his finger at practice and underwent surgery when remaining sidelined proved longer than the team first expected.
• The Jets did not place Mitchell on injured reserve because the team initially anticipated a shorter absence, a roster choice that left them with fewer automatic return options.
• Offensive depth has held up in his absence with Jordan Meredith filling in at left guard and Braelon Allen rushing for 253 yards and a touchdown on 55 carries, though the team still lists Breece Hall as the starter.
• Several defensive players are limited or listed week-to-week, and the team will use this week’s evaluations to set the active roster and game plan for Miami.
