Jets' Allen Lazard: Labeled non-participant in practice
Allen Lazard (chest) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Lazard's listing on Tuesday's report comes as no surprise, after interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich previously said the receiver is considered week-to-week. The 28-year-old appears unlikely to play Thursday against the Texans, but the New York Jets will provide official word on his status when they release their final Week 9 injury report Wednesday. If Lazard misses a second straight contest, Mike Williams would be in line to serve as the Jets' No. 3 wideout behind Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Inactive versus Patriots

In his absence, Mike Williams figures to join top WR options Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams in three-receiver sets, with added opportunities in the slot potentially on tap for Xavier Gipson when Wilson shifts to the outside. Also in the New York Jets' Week 8 WR mix are Xavier Gipson, Irvin Charles and Malachi Corley.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Misses practice again
Allen Lazard (chest) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Lazard has now missed back-to-back practices due to a chest injury, a development that casts genuine uncertainty over his status for Sunday's road matchup against New England. If Lazard isn't able to suit up Week 8, Garrett Wilson and new teammate Davante Adams will possess a clearer path than usual to working as the unquestioned top targets in the wide receiver room for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Sits Wednesday with chest injury
Allen Lazard didn't practice Wednesday due to a chest injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.The injury is a new one for Lazard, who had four catches for 58 yards in this past Sunday's loss to the Steelers while former Packers teammate Davante Adams made his New York Jets debut. Even if Lazard returns to practice and avoids an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, he's likely to operate as a distant No. 3 on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart behind Adams and Garrett Wilson.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Four targets in Adams' debut
Allen Lazard caught all four of his targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.Lazard has dropped a peg on the totem pole after the acquisition of Davante Adams. That new reality was apparent in Sunday's loss, as Lazard had only four targets while Adams, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall finished with nine apiece. Lazard's chemistry with Aaron Rodgers should continue to earn the former Green Bay wideout some downfield opportunities, but Lazard seems poised to slow down dramatically after a hot start that saw him catch five touchdowns through Week 6. One of those touchdowns came against the Patriots, whom the New York Jets will face again in Week 8.
