The New York Jets could head into their season opener against the Carolina Panthers without two of their key wide receivers. Jamison Crowder will miss the game due to COVID-19. Keelan Cole may join him as he is a game-time decision with a knee injury.
Should Cole join Crowder on the bench, the door would open wide for Denzel Mims.
Mims went through a tumultuous offseason that featured a bout with food poisoning and a plethora of reps with the second and third-team offensive units. He then missed two preseason games with an undisclosed injury.
