Adonai Mitchell Returns to Practice: 2026 Week 7 Fantasy Implications
Mitchell practiced Wednesday after missing four games, but he's still listed as doubtful — temper your expectations.
Adonai Mitchell returned to Jets practice on Wednesday, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Mitchell has missed four games with a finger injury and was a limited participant in his first session back. He remains listed as doubtful for Week 7, so don't pencil him in yet.

The limited tag on day one of his return is a yellow flag. A limited Wednesday after a four-game absence rarely clears to full go by game day, and the Jets haven't upgraded him past doubtful. Before getting hurt, Mitchell was functioning as a deep threat — nine catches for 123 yards and a 34-yard pass interference draw. That production mattered. But until he's off the injury report or at least upgraded to questionable, he's a risky start in standard redraft leagues (PPR or not). Dynasty managers can relax — the return to practice is the signal they needed that the finger isn't a long-term concern. Just don't force him into your lineup this week.
Also worth noting: running back Breece Hall (quad) remained out of practice entirely after missing three games. The source story offers no timeline for Hall's return, so treat him as doubtful-adjacent until the Jets say otherwise. His absence continues to reshape the Jets' offensive backfield, which is its own fantasy puzzle — but that's a separate story.
