With starting wide receiver Adonai Mitchell listed as questionable with a finger injury, the New York Jets added two receivers to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. Veteran Sterling Shepard was elevated from the practice squad and is expected to make his Jets debut. First-year player Jamaal Pritchett, also signed from the practice squad, is available for his NFL debut.

The Jets already have three receivers on injured reserve, including first-round pick Omar Cooper Jr. with an ankle injury. Mitchell, the team's most targeted player with 15 targets, showed up on the injury report Thursday after his finger got caught in a teammate's jersey at practice. He practiced Friday with a heavy wrap on his right hand, with index and middle fingers splinted.

Coach Aaron Glenn said, "I don't think it's broke." Mitchell has emerged as a key member of the passing attack, leading the team with nine receptions for 123 yards, second only to Garrett Wilson. If Mitchell cannot play or is limited, Isaiah Williams and Shepard would likely serve as the second and third receivers. Sterling Shepard, 33, arrived two weeks ago on the practice squad and caught 39 passes for 371 yards and one touchdown last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Pritchett returns kicks and could replace Kene Nwangwu, who was ruled out with a back injury. The Jets will also be without tight end Mason Taylor due to a thumb injury.
