The Jets will be without Denzel Mims this Sunday against the Seahawks after the rookie wideout left Florham Park on Wednesday to deal with a family matter in Texas.
Mims is healthy, but his ability to play in Week 14 immediately became unlikely once he departed due to the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols.
Even if he had returned before Sunday, Mims would have had to receive back-to-back negative tests in order to play.
On the injury front, Jordan Jenkins, Ashtyn Davis, Greg Van Roten, Frank Gore and Bennett Jackson will not practice Thursday, while Pat Elflein and Breshad Perriman will be limited.
It is also possible that Bless Austin returns against the Seahawks. The cornerback was designated to return to practice this week from injured reserve
