Allen Lazard Placed on Injured Reserve

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard has been placed on injured reserve due to a chest injury, marking him inactive for at least four games, with a potential return on December 8 against the Dolphins. Lazard's absence includes missing the upcoming game against the Texans, as well as last Sunday's game against the Patriots. In his place, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, and Mike Williams are set to lead the team's receiving corps, while Xavier Gipson, Irvin Charles, and Malachi Corley will provide depth. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich has categorized Lazard's condition as week-to-week, indicating a slim chance for him to return sooner. The Jets will rely heavily on their remaining wideouts as they navigate the upcoming weeks without Lazard.
