Coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Wednesday that the wide receiver recently underwent \"a small procedure\" to repair the finger, which he hurt when it got caught in a jersey during practice on Sept. 24.\n\nMitchell has already missed three games and appears set to miss a fourth straight when New York visits New England on Sunday. He has not been placed on injured reserve, which at least keeps open the possibility of a quicker return once he's cleared. Glenn offered a modest update on the healing process, saying Mitchell \"is moving his fingers around really, really well.\"\n\nThere is some relief elsewhere in the receiving room. Rookie first-round pick Omar Cooper Jr., who went on injured reserve after a high ankle sprain in the season opener at Tennessee, has had his 21-day practice window opened. That gives the Jets a chance to get him back on the field while they continue to wait on Mitchell.\n\nFor now, New York's passing game remains short-handed heading into Week 6, with no firm timetable yet for Mitchell's return.","published_at":"2026-10-15T05:04:16.719263+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Jets reveal Adonai Mitchell had procedure on finger as return timetable remains uncertain","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/14/sports/jets-reveal-adonai-mitchell-had-procedure-on-finger-as-receivers-return-remains-uncertain/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Jets' Mitchell had surgical procedure last month, likely out for Week 6","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50183688/jets-adonai-mitchell-underwent-surgical-procedure-finger"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jets' Mitchell had 'small procedure' to repair injured finger, rookie Cooper's practice window open","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jets-mitchell-had-small-procedure-170952827.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jets Injury Notes: AD Mitchell undergoes hand procedure, Omar Cooper Jr.'s practice window opened","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jets-injury-notes-ad-mitchell-172501805.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jets’ Aaron Glenn reveals Adonai Mitchell surgery, but there’s a silver lining","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jets-aaron-glenn-reveals-adonai-175049508.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"New York Jets: See 1st-Round Pick Return to Practice","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/york-jets-see-1st-round-183551488.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jets reveal Adonai Mitchell had procedure on finger as return timetable remains uncertain","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jets-reveal-adonai-mitchell-had-014521150.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
