Overview

  • In the 27-24 win over the Falcons, Mitchell posted 8 receptions for 102 yards and a 52-yard touchdown for his first NFL score.
  • Across three games since the trade, he has 11 catches on 25 targets for 154 yards, taking on a lead role with Garrett Wilson on injured reserve.
  • Mitchell came to New York in the deadline deal that sent Sauce Gardner to the Colts, with 2026 and 2027 first-round picks included in the package to the Jets.
  • Tyrod Taylor praised Mitchell as “a very special talent,” and head coach Aaron Glenn said the receiver was targeted in the deal and not a throw-in.
  • For Indianapolis, Gardner exited Sunday with a non-contact calf injury that NFL Network described as a strain, a developing situation that could influence draft positioning tied to the trade.
