It’s time for a New York Jets debut.
Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is set to don the green and white colors for the first time this season. He was involved in the blockbuster trade that sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts.
Mitchell was inactive for the Week 10 contest against the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Aaron Glenn explained that he needed some more time to familiarize himself with the playbook. Now, Mitchell will get to show what he has learned against the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football in front of the entire country.
Mitchell has two and a half years remaining on his $7.3 million rookie contract.
The Jets insisted on Mitchell being in the trade. According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, if the Colts hadn’t included the talented pass catcher in the deal, a trade would have never been completed. Now it’s time to see what the buzz was all about from the Jets’ side.
With Garrett Wilson being placed on injured reserve, Mitchell is going to be expected to take on a heavy workload.
Mitchell, 23, was buried on the depth chart with the Colts. That won’t be a problem with the Jets. They don’t have that first-world problem in New York. The green and white are looking for someone to step up to the plate.
This will be Mitchell’s 26th NFL game of his career. He has been targeted 71 times, has caught 32 receptions for 464 receiving yards, and has averaged 14.5 yards per reception.
Mitchell has all the tools. He stands in at 6-foot-2 and weighs 205 pounds. At the NFL combine he ran a blazing 4.34 40-yard dash.
Colts wide receivers coach Reggie Wayne believes the thing Mitchell is missing is reps. If that is true, then the Jets should find out pretty quickly what they have in the former Texas product. If the green and white hope to upset the Pats, they will need some magic from their young wide receiver.
Gang Green took to social media to announce the inactives for the Patriots game in prime time.
That group included rookie cornerback Azareye’h Thomas, defensive lineman Braiden McGregor, running back Khalil Herbert, tight end Jelani Woods, and linebacker core special teamer Ja’Markis Weston.
Two key defensive cogs for the Jets were listed as questionable heading into Week 11.
Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips and pass rusher Will McDonald were both up in the air for this contest. With both players listed as active, they will be good to go for this AFC East rivalry.
Phillips is dealing with a foot issue. He didn’t practice on Monday or Tuesday, but he was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.
McDonald is dealing with a quad problem. He didn’t practice on Monday, but he was a limited participant in practice on both Tuesday and Wednesday. The former Iowa State product is coming off an impressive four-sack campaign. That is tied for the best single-game sack record in Jets franchise history.
“We’ve got to be better, plain and simple. There’s no excuse for where we are right now. We need to hold ourselves accountable and make the necessary changes, because this isn’t acceptable.”
— Alex Tuch, Buffalo Sabres Forward
Buffalo Sabres fans, brace yourselves: change is coming. After yet another brutal defeat — a 5-2 loss to Utah followed by a 6-2 drubbing by the Colorado Avalanche — it’s clear that this team is nowhere near the contender they were supposed to be this season. And for fans who’ve waited 14 years for a playoff spot, the latest string of losses is a hard pill to swallow. With Buffalo’s record now at a dismal

Buffalo’s Road to Redemption: How to Fix the Sabres?

The Sabres’ defense needs a complete overhaul, and the goaltending situation is looking more desperate by the day. The team can no longer afford to let mediocrity slip by — it’s time to build a
This won’t be an easy fix, but with the right moves, Buffalo could finally start to dig itself out of this hole. The fans deserve a competitive team, and the Sabres owe it to themselves to deliver.
Can the Sabres Turn It Around?
There’s no sugar-coating it — the Sabres’ current path is not sustainable. Another year of misery for Buffalo fans will simply not do. As the Sabres face the harsh reality of their worst season in recent memory, one thing is clear:
The time for change is now — and for the first time in years, it feels like the Sabres have no choice but to start fresh.
