Lazard (chest) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. Lazard has been practicing without limitations and is presumably healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, though the Jets will still need to perform an official transaction to put him back on the 53-man roster. Prior to getting hurt, Lazard had 412 receiving yards and five touchdowns through seven games. All but one of those games came prior to the Jets trading for Davante Adams, and Lazard likely won't see as many targets while slotting in as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Adams and Garrett Wilson.

Lazard (chest) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. Lazard has been practicing without limitations and is presumably healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, though the Jets will still need to perform an official transaction to put him back on the 53-man roster. Prior to getting hurt, Lazard had 412 receiving yards and five touchdowns through seven games. All but one of those games came prior to the Jets trading for Davante Adams, and Lazard likely won't see as many targets while slotting in as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Adams and Garrett Wilson.
Lazard (chest) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Lazard was officially designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he looks to have a decent shot of suiting up for the Jets' Week 14 date against the Dolphins on Sunday. Xavier Gipson and rookie Malachi Corley have been handling third and fourth receiver duties behind target-commanders Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams. Lazard will be fighting for scraps behind those two once he does return to the field.
The Jets are in line to open the practice window of Lazard (chest), Eric Allen of the team's official site reports. The Jets will have 21 days to decide whether to activate Lazard (who has been on IR since Oct. 31) to their 53-man roster. For his part, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich noted Wednesday that he's hopeful the wideout will be ready by the end of the week. If Lazard is available for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, he'd add depth to a WR corps that's led by Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, a context that could limit the veteran pass-catcher's initial volume in New York's offense.
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.
