FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- After two games as a healthy scratch, New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims will be active on Sunday. All it took was an injury and a car accident.
Down to five healthy receivers, the Jets are turning to the 2020 second-round pick, whose absence from the lineup has sparked criticism from fans and media. Mims, coming off a promising rookie year, mysteriously slipped down the depth chart in the preseason.
The circumstances changed this week, as Elijah Moore and Jeff Smith both were ruled out with concussions for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
