Three targets in eight snaps Mims caught two of three targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Falcons.
Impact Mims played just eight offensive snaps, so at least he was noticeable in his limited time on the field. He's had trouble earning playing time thus far, but the Jets' upcoming Week 6 bye could give Mims an opportunity to convince the coaching staff he deserves a larger role with some strong practice showings.

Dealing with illness Mims was sent home from practice Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19 illness, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Mims showed up to the facility Wednesday and attended team meetings, but he was sent home since he wasn't feeling well. The 23-year-old is expected to be back at practice Thursday, and the ailment shouldn't affect his availability for this weekend.

Wilson's focus on being better after Jets' win a good sign
Zach Wilson knew he could have done betterOCTOBER 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Limited to decoy duties Mims wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Tennessee.
Impact Mims suited up for the first time since Week 1 but didn't get any attention from quarterback Zach Wilson, even as Wilson threw for a career-high 297 yards. The 2020 second-round pick's knowledge of the playbook has been questioned, and it appears the Jets still don't feel comfortable counting on Mims to contribute. He has just one target all season, though he was able to catch that one for a 40-yard gain.

Flying again: Mims to be active, Crowder returning for Jets
New York Jets fans have been clamoring the last few weeks for Denzel Mims to see the field againOCTOBER 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Will play versus Tennessee Mims will be active Sunday against the Titans, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Impact Mims was a healthy scratch the past two games despite Jamison Crowder (groin) being sidelined, but the 2020 second-round pick will be active for Week 4. Elijah Moore and Jeff Smith are each sidelined with a concussion this weekend to open the opportunity, but Mims may not have a significant offensive role with Crowder trending toward playing Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • USATODAY.COM
Game-time call for Week 3 Mims (coach's decision) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Broncos, per coach Robert Saleh, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact Saleh praised Mims' week of practice but didn't commit to activating the 2020 second-round pick after scratching him last week. The Jets have been dressing five receivers on game day to give themselves flexibility elsewhere. Corey Davis and Elijah Moore are locks to start every week, Jeff Smith is the gunner on special teams, and Keelan Cole and Braxton Berrios are both reliable veterans. New York values the safety of the last two over the raw athleticism of Mims, who has reportedly struggled to pick up the playbook. Barring a change in organizational philosophy, Mims is likely to remain on the outside looking in, even with Jamison Crowder (groin) likely to remain sidelined.

Healthy inactive Week 2 Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Impact Even with fellow receivers Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) and Keelan Cole (knee) sidelined for the Week 1 loss to the Panthers, Mims was on the field for just three snaps and caught his lone target for a 40-yard reception. Though Crowder remains out with a groin injury Week 2, the return of Cole for his season debut will push Mims further down the pecking order. Mims' lack of contributions on special teams could result in him being a fixture on the inactive list in 2021 when the Jets' receiver room is at close to full strength.
