Jets' Allen Lazard Placed on IR, Shaking Up Wide Receiver Roster
The New York Jets face offensive challenges as wide receiver Allen Lazard is sidelined with a chest injury for at least four weeks.
- Allen Lazard, a key target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, is placed on injured reserve, missing a minimum of four games due to a chest injury.
- Lazard's absence is a significant blow to the Jets, as he leads the team in receiving touchdowns and deep target rate this season.
- With Lazard out, the Jets are reconsidering their decision to trade Mike Williams, who may now see increased playing time.
- Mike Williams has had limited involvement recently but could step up as a crucial third receiving option behind Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson.
- The Jets, currently at the bottom of the AFC East with a 2-6 record, aim to end a five-game losing streak against the Houston Texans without Lazard.
