Mills recorded eight tackles (five solo), including a tackle for a loss, and a pass breakup in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers. The safety who signed with the Jets' practice squad in September was playing in place of Chuck Clark (ankle) and Ashtyn Davis (head). Mills played in 17 regular-season games and on 443 defensive snaps for the Patriots in 2023, finishing with 45 tackles, a pass breakup and a forced fumble. Clark is on IR and can't return until Week 11 at the earliest, though Davis might come back as early as next week.

The Jets signed Mills (undisclosed) to their practice squad Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The 30-year-old corner appeared in 17 regular-season games with the Patriots in 2023, recording 45 total tackles and one pass defended over 443 defensive snaps.

The Giants placed Mills (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday. Mills will now be sidelined indefinitely, but he will still be eligible to practice and play in the preseason if activated off the NFI list. The 2016 seventh-round will now look to get healthy and compete for a backup role at safety.

The Giants are slated to sign Mills to a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Mills appeared in all 17 games last season, making eight starts, and finishing with 45 tackles (26 solo), one pass breakup and one forced fumble on 40 percent of the defensive snaps. Mills figures to compete for the starting safety job alongside Jason Pinnock.
