Mitchell (knee) is listed as active Sunday versus the Bills.
Mitchell followed up a 7-142-1 performance on nine targets in Week 8 with no catches on his seven targets last Sunday at Kansas City. It was a missed opportunity for him in Week 9 with Garrett Wilson out due to a concussion, and Mitchell himself was added to the Week 10 practice report Friday due to a knee injury, leaving him questionable for Sunday along with Wilson and Omar Cooper (ankle). All three are available this weekend, but with Wilson poised to take on his typical No. 1 role, Mitchell will be the second option, at best, among his position group.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: On track to face Buffalo

Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills but is expected to play, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports.
Mitchell, Garrett Wilson (concussion) and Omar Cooper (ankle) all practiced in full Friday. Each of them were tagged as questionable, but it appears as though the Jets will be with all three of their top wide receivers for Sunday's AFC East tilt. Mitchell failed to haul in any of his seven targets in Week 9 against the Chiefs, but he did record seven catches (on nine targets) for 142 yards and a touchdown during the Jets' Week 8 loss to the Raiders.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Listed as questionable after FP
Rotowire
Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after he was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Fellow wideouts Garrett Wilson (concussion) and Omar Cooper (ankle) are also listed as questionable despite being full practice participants Friday. Both figure to play, as does Mitchell, who finished without a catch on seven targets (two drops) in last week's loss to the Chiefs -- one week after catching seven passes for 142 yards and a TD against the Raiders. Wilson's likely return to the lineup means Mitchell isn't assured of similar volume moving forward.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: No catches in Week 9
Rotowire
Mitchell failed to reel in any of his seven targets during Sunday's 35-12 loss to the Chiefs.
Mitchell finished second on the team in targets behind fellow wideout Omar Cooper (11) with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable. Mitchell has now went without a reception in two of the last three contests, but he has garnered 19 targets in the last three weeks, and he figures to remain busy in Week 10 against the Bills.
Mitchell and Omar Cooper will be the Jets' top wide receivers with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable for Sunday's game at Kansas City, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
Mitchell is coming off the best performance of his career -- a 7-141-1 receiving line on 26 routes (nine targets) in last week's 38-33 loss to Las Vegas. Cooper also ran 26 routes but finished without a target, despite topping 100 yards in back-to-back games beforehand. Both wide receivers now have a big opportunity with Wilson out of the lineup against a Kansas City defense that's missing cornerbacks Mansoor Delane (shoulder) and L'Jarius Sneed (IR - knee).
Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Career-high 142 yards in Week 8
Rotowire
Mitchell caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.
Mitchell didn't catch any of his three targets in the Week 7 loss to Miami after returning from a four-game absence due to a finger injury, but he bounced back with a career-best Week 8 performance. His top highlights Sunday were a 12-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter and a 47-yard reception in the fourth quarter. Garrett Wilson led the team with 12 targets while Omar Cooper went without a target after back-to-back games with more than 100 yards and a TD. The 2-6 Jets could try to get all three of their talented young wideouts involved in Week 9, when they will likely be playing catch-up against the Chiefs.
Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Zero catches on three targets in return
Rotowire
Mitchell failed to haul in any of his three targets during the Jets' 28-25 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Mitchell was cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a finger injury. However, the third-year pro was unable to connect with Geno Smith during Sunday's loss, and Mitchell's 26 offensive snaps were third-most among Jets wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson (50) and rookie Omar Cooper (38). Mitchell logged 15 targets through the first two games of the regular season prior to his injury, but his offensive opportunities figure to be limited while competing for targets against Wilson, Cooper and tight ends Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq. The Jets will stay home for Week 8 against the Raiders, whose defense has given up the second-most passing touchdowns (16) this season.
Mitchell (finger) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Coming back from a four-game absence, Mitchell figures to take a lot of the snaps that went to Tim Patrick last week. What's less clear is how Mitchell's return will impact Omar Cooper, who played 82 percent of snaps in last week's 26-19 loss to the Patriots, catching six of seven targets for 103 yards and a TD in the process.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Mitchell (finger) will play Sunday against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
After missing the Jets' last four games, Mitchell will return to the lineup for New York's divisional matchup with Miami. It's unclear at this point what Mitchell's return to the lineup will mean for rookie Omar Cooper, as the two have been healthy and available for a total of five snaps together this season. The Dolphins have been good against opposing wide receivers, mainly because other teams have just been able to run on them voluminously in positive game scripts.
