DENZEL MIMS
Activated off IR, will play Sunday Mims (hamstrings) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The 2020 second-round pick is set to make his rookie debut Sunday against the Bills after Mims put together a second straight week of practice. It's possible Mims could be featured immediately, especially if Jamison Crowder (groin) is unable to play, although a Crowder absence more than likely sets the stage for Braxton Berrios and Jeff Smith to take over in the slot, with Mims operating as the second outside receiver opposite Breshad Perriman.

Jets' Darnold to start vs. Bills, barring shoulder setbacks
Sam Darnold will return as the New York Jets’ starting quarterback Sunday against the Buffalo Bills as long as he has no further complications with his injured shoulderOCTOBER 23, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
May not return this weekend Coach Adam Gase said Friday that he hasn't decided whether Mims (hamstrings) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup with Buffalo, Ralph Vacchiano of Sport...
Impact The rookie second-round pick was designated to return from injured reserve last week and has resumed taking part in team drills, but the Jets' wholesale health issues could result in the team prioritizing adding a player at a different position rather than clearing a roster spot for Mims' activation. Mims has yet to make his NFL debut since sustaining injuries to both of his hamstrings in training camp. The status of fellow wideout Jamison Crowder (groin) could play a role in the Jets' decision-making process for this weekend. The Jets would have until Saturday at 4 p.m. ET to add Mims to the roster in order for him to be eligible to play Week 7.

Jets QB Darnold returns to practice, has chance to play

Set for team reps Wednesday Mims (hamstring) is expected to take part in live team drills during Wednesday's practice, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Impact Mims, who practiced with the scout team last week, looks set to ramp up his workload in preparation for potentially making his NFL debut Sunday versus the Bills. According to Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York, head coach Adam Gase merely said there's "a chance" Mims will be active Week 7, so the rookie's status for the weekend may ultimately hinge on what he's able to do in practice over the next few days.

Could debut Week 7 Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Mims (hamstring) could have a chance to make his NFL debut against the Bills on Sunday, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mims still hasn't been officially activated to the 53-man roster, but Gase notes that he was impressive while working with the scout team last week. The Jets finally have both Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman available, so Mims may only serve as the No. 3 receiver at best upon his return, but the team remains desperate for a spark on offense. Coming off a 24-0 loss to the Dolphins, New York maybe compelled to see what Mims can do with a few opportunities Week 7, if he's indeed activated in time to face Buffalo.

Not ruled out for Week 6 Jets head coach Adam Gase was unwilling to rule Mims (hamstrings) out from returning from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game in Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Mims took a significant step forward in his recovery from his double-hamstring injury Wednesday, when he took part in practice after being designated to return from IR. Since Mims is not yet a member of the 53-man roster, the Jets don't have to disclose the extent of his activity on their injury reports, but the rookie was able to get in some reps with New York's main group as well as the scout team, according to Cimini. Given that his hamstring injuries date back to training camp, Mims will probably need more than a week of practice to gain clearance to play, but the Jets will wait and see how he fares Thursday and Friday before rendering a verdict on his status.

Unlikely to play in Week 6 Mims (hamstring) is unlikely to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Mims was cleared to return to practice Wednesday, but he'll still need some time to get up to game speed after being sidelined since early August due to the bothersome hamstring. The rookie second-round pick out of Baylor should get the opportunity to climb the wide receiver depth chart quickly once he's ready for game action, but it makes sense for New York to bring Mims along slowly after his extensive absence.

Back at practice Wednesday Mims (hamstring) will practice Wednesday after the Jets designated him to return from injured reserve, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact Mims' return to practice marks his first on-field action since he was placed on IR in mid-September. The transaction opens up a 21-day window for the Jets to evaluate Mims for a return to the active roster. Coach Adam Gase was unwilling ot say whether the rookie second-round pick will be ready to make his NFL deut Sunday against the Dolphins.

Not yet ready to practice Mims (hamstring) is not present at Wednesday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Impact Mims is eligible to be designated for activation from IR, which would begin a 21-day window for the Jets to monitor him at practice, but it doesn't look as though the team is prepared to officially make that move yet. Due to his lingering hamstring injury, the rookie second-round pick may not be ready to make his NFL debut against Arizona on Sunday.

Moved to IR The Jets placed Mims (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Impact Mims sat out the Jets' season-opening loss to the Bills with the injury, and the team apparently wasn't confident that he would make a full recovery from his hamstring issue in the immediate future. As a result of the transaction, he won't be eligible to make his NFL debut until the Jets' Week 5 matchup with the Cardinals on Oct. 11. His move to IR leaves Braxton Berrios as the only healthy depth receiver on the roster behind starters Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and Chris Hogan.
