DENZEL MIMS NEWS

Practices fully Thursday Mims (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact After logging a limited session Wednesday, Mims progressed to a full practice Thursday, which has him trending toward being active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Friday's final injury report will confirm whether Mims has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, and, if so, he should head into the weekend minus a Week 17 injury designation.

Reaches final step of protocol Mims returned to practice Wednesday and is in the final stage of concussion protocol, the NY Daily News reports.

Impact Mims is on track to return for Sunday's game in Seattle, though perhaps only as the No. 4 or 5 wide receiver now that Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore are all healthy and not benched.

Won't play Thursday Mims (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mims had only four days to clear the NFL's concussion protocol after suffering the brain injury in Sunday's 21-19 loss to Detroit. The good news for the Jets is that Corey Davis is back in the lineup, joining Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios to form a talented and varied wideout group. Mims' next chance to play will come Jan. 1 at Seattle.

Not practicing Mims (concussion) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Mims had been filling in for Corey Davis, who was a full participant Tuesday after missing the past couple games in concussion protocol. Jeff Smith, who replaced Mims in Sunday's loss to the Lions, also missed Tuesday's practice (with a knee injury). It thus appears Davis could be back in the lineup and handling a full-time role Thursday night against Jacksonville.

Listed as DNP on practice estimate Mims (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mims was limited to six snaps in Sunday's loss to the Lions and now will need to clear the concussion protocol in short order to have a chance to suit up Thursday night against the Jaguars. Also appearing on Monday's practice estimate were fellow wideouts Jeff Smith (knee, DNP) and Corey Davis (concussion, limited) , which makes the trio's status worth monitoring ahead of Week 16 action.

Won't return Sunday Mims (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact Prior to being evaluated for a concussion, Mims caught one of his two targets for 13 yards. The wideout will now look to gain clearance to play in advance of Thursday's contest against the Jaguars.

Evaluated for concussion Mims is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact Prior to his exit from the contest, Mims caught one of his two targets for 13 yards. In his absence, Braxton Berrios and Jeff Smith could see added WR snaps alongside Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore.

Three catches after Davis injury Mims caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.

Impact Mims was more involved after Corey Davis (head) exited in the first half. Davis took a knee to the head, so his absence may linger through Week 15 against the Lions and beyond, and Mims should see an uptick in playing time for the duration of his fellow wide receiver's absence.

One target in Week 13 Mims didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings.

Impact The only ball thrown Mims' way was a deep jump ball along the sidelines. It hit him in the hands but he failed to come down with it. His struggles with drops will continue to limit Mims' value moving forward.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal role as other WRs shine Mims caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears.

Impact Mims' only catch led to points, as he gained 11 yards on 3rd and 13 to get the Jets in range for a 57-yard Greg Zuerlein field goal just before halftime. New York took a 17-10 lead into the locker room, then put the game away with 14 unanswered points in the second half. Fellow wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore combined for three touchdowns in Mike White's season debut under center, while Mims didn't make much of an impact, suggesting benched quarterback Zach Wilson may not have been the reason for Mims' lack of production to date.

Impact While Corey Davis has missed each of New York's previous three games with a knee injury, Mims subsequently moved up in the team's depth chart and recorded five receptions for 123 yards in that span. Now that Davis is in line to return in Week 12, the 2020 second-rounder will likely take on a reduced pass-catching role.

Sets up FG with 34-yard grab Mims caught two of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 10-3 loss to New England.

Impact The first pass thrown to Mims was a blatant drop, but he redeemed himself with a 34-yard catch down the sideline in the second quarter to set up a field goal for New York's only points of the game. Mims led the team in targets and accounted for nearly half of Zach Wilson's 77 passing yards as the Jets put forth an abhorrent performance on offense. If Corey Davis (knee) is ready to play in Week 12 against the Bears, Mims will likely be relegated to a depth role, as the 2020 second-round pick hasn't done enough in Davis' absence to prove he deserves to keep starting.

One catch in Week 9 win Mims caught one of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.

Impact Mims got both hands on a high throw but couldn't secure it to convert on 3rd-and-7 in the second quarter, forcing the Jets to punt in Bills territory. He remained a non-factor for most of the afternoon but made a big play down the stretch, securing a 12-yard catch to convert a third down deep in Buffalo territory. That conversion allowed New York to run more valuable time off the clock late in the fourth quarter before Greg Zuerlein kicked what proved to be the game-winning field goal. Mims' four targets were actually good for second on the team behind Garrett Wilson's nine, but Corey Davis' (knee) expected return after the Week 10 bye will likely lead to a reduction in Mims' already limited role.
