According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Jets are placing WR Allen Lazard on injured reserve.
Lazard is dealing with a chest injury and now will miss a minimum of four games.
Lazard, 28, wound up signing on with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa State back in 2018. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract with the Jaguars, but was waived coming out of the preseason.
The Jaguars later re-signed Lazard to their practice squad after he cleared waivers before the Packers signed him to their active roster toward the end of the 2018 season. He was re-signed by the Packers as an exclusive rights free agent the following two offseasons and was tendered at the second-round level as a restricted free agent in 2022.
Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million contract with $22 million guaranteed with the Jets last year.
In 2024, Lazard has appeared in seven games for the Jets and recorded 30 receptions on 44 targets for 412 yards and five touchdowns.
