Overview
- Lazard was inactive against the Steelers despite not appearing on the Week 1 injury report, confirming a healthy scratch.
- Glenn told reporters the receiver missed about two weeks in August and the staff opted to hold him out until he is fully up to speed.
- The 29-year-old did not secure the WR2 role after a quiet summer and a shoulder issue that sidelined him during camp.
- He reworked his four-year, $44 million contract in April, taking an $8.5 million cut that lowered his 2025 base salary to $2.25 million, per Spotrac.
- With few established targets behind Garrett Wilson, the decision drew outside speculation about Lazard’s future role or a possible move, and he is slated for free agency next year.
