Story summary

Adonai Mitchell, the New York Jets' wide receiver, recently underwent "a small procedure" to repair an injured finger and remains out of action for at least another week. Mitchell has already missed three consecutive games since injuring his finger during practice on September 24th. Meanwhile, rookie Omar Cooper Jr. could soon join the team after his 21-day practice window was opened following a high ankle sprain suffered in the season opener against Tennessee. Veteran Tim Patrick, who returned from injured reserve last week with a groin injury, added depth to the receiving corps during the Jets' recent victory over Cleveland. Additionally, running back Breece Hall continues to be sidelined due to a quadriceps injury and has missed the past two games, with Braelon Allen stepping in as the primary ballcarrier and delivering a career-high 116 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries last Sunday.
