Despite having a deep group of wide receivers heading in to the 2021 season, the Jets unit is now decimated by injuries and may have to look to their practice squad to add a pass catcher or two in the coming weeks.

In terms of wide receivers, the Jets have some burners on the practice squad, but just one has any real NFL experience.
