The Jets designated Lazard (chest) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
Lazard will resume practicing with the team Wednesday, and the Jets will have 21 days to decide whether to activate him or keep his on IR for the rest of the season. 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 would add depth to a wideout corps led by Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams.
