Jets Tight End Mason Taylor Ruled Out vs. Lions, Wide Receiver Adonai Mitchell Uncertain
Mason Taylor will miss Sunday’s game, and Aaron Glenn said Adonai Mitchell’s finger injury leaves New York short on receivers.
- On Friday, September 25, 2026, the New York Jets ruled out tight end Mason Taylor for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions, while wide receiver Adonai Mitchell remains questionable after being limited in practice with a finger issue.
- Already thin at wide receiver, the team previously lost rookie receiver Omar Cooper Jr. to injured reserve and Arian Smith to a torn ACL, leaving Garrett Wilson and Isaiah Williams as the primary healthy receivers.
- To bolster the receiver group, Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed the team will elevate either Sterling Shepard or Tyler Johnson from the practice squad. "We'll see which one of them gives us the best chance," Glenn said.
- While the offense faces challenges, the defense receives a boost as edge rusher Joseph Ossai and rookie cornerback D'Angelo Ponds practiced fully on Friday, with both potentially making their Jets debuts on Sunday.
- The Jets must rely on increased snaps for tight end Kenyon Sadiq to compensate for the injuries against the Lions, whom Head coach Aaron Glenn described as "one of the most explosive groups" they'll face all season.
