The Jets have placed Lazard (chest) on IR, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports. As a result, the soonest Lazard can return to action is Sunday, Dec. 8 against the Dolphins. While Lazard is sidelined, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Mike Williams will continue to lead the Jets' wideout corps, with Xavier Gipson, Irvin Charles and Malachi Corley in reserve.
The Jets are slated to place Lazard (chest) on IR, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Once the anticipated move is official, Lazard will be in line to miss at least four games, with his earliest possible return date being Sunday, Dec. 8 against the Dolphins. In Lazard's looming absence, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Mike Williams will continue to lead the Jets' wideout corps. Prior to sustaining his injury, Lazard caught 30 of his 44 targets for 412 yards and five TDs in seven games.
Lazard (chest) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Texans. Lazard, who was also inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, will miss his second game in a row, with his next chance to suit up arriving Nov. 10 against the Cardinals. In his continued absence, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Mike Williams will continue to lead the Jets' WR corps in Week 9, with Xavier Gipson, Irvin Charles and Malachi Corley in reserve.
Lazard (chest) was a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Lazard's absence should not be surprising, as interim coach Jeff Ulbrich previously indicated the pass catcher is considered week-to-week. Barring a quick turnaround on a short week, it looks like he has an outside chance at suiting up Thursday against the Texans. As a result, Mike Willias could be in line for WR3 duties behind Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson.
Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Monday that Lazard (chest) is considered week-to-week, Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reports. Lazard isn't expected to go on injured reserve, but it does sounds like he's going to moss some more time after not playing in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. With Lazard out, Mike Williams handled WR3 duties for the Jets, but he didn't see a single target on Aaron Rodgers' 28 pass attempts.
Lazard (chest) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Lazard, who didn't practice this past week, headed into the weekend listed as doubtful, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined versus the Patriots. In his absence, Mike Williams figures to join top WR options Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams in three-receiver sets, with added opportunities in the slot potentially on tap for Xavier Gipson when Wilson shifts to the outside. Also in the Jets' Week 8 WR mix are Xavier Gipson, Irvin Charles and Malachi Corley.
Lazard (chest) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Lazard hasn't practiced in any fashion during the week, so it would be a surprise if he was able to play. If Lazard sits, Mike Williams figures to join Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams in three-receiver sets, with extra opportunities possibly available for Xavier Gipson in the slot when Wilson shifts to the outside.
Lazard (chest) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Lazard has now missed back-to-back practices due to a chest injury, a development that casts genuine uncertainty over his status for Sunday's road matchup against New England. If Lazard isn't able to suit up Week 8, Garrett Wilson and new teammate Davante Adams will possess a clearer path than usual to working as the unquestioned top targets in the wide receiver room for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Lazard (chest) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. This is a new injury for Lazard, who had four catches for 58 yards in this past Sunday's loss to the Steelers as former Packers teammate Davante Adams made his Jets debut. Even if Lazard returns to practice and avoids an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, he's likely to operate as a distant No. 3 on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart behind Adams and Garrett Wilson.
