Jets' Malik Taylor: Going on IR
The Jets placed Taylor on injured reserve with an undisclosed issue Sunday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Taylor sustained an injury at an early point in training camp, according to Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site, though it's unclear exactly when or how this issue arose. The 28-year-old wideout appeared in three games while on the practice squad last year, securing two of four targets for 13 yards. Taylor previously looked like he had a solid chance to earn a spot on the final 53-man roster, but he'll now be forced to sit out the entire 2024 campaign unless he's let go from IR with an injury settlement.

Malik Taylor: Back to practice squad
Taylor reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.
Taylor played 10 snaps on offense and 13 on special teams, catching one of his two targets for six yards during the Jets' loss to Las Vegas on Sunday. With the 27-year-old now out of elevations, the Jets will have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play for New York again this season.

Jets' Malik Taylor: Two targets in Week 10
Taylor caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.
Taylor was elevated from the practice squad for the Week 10 loss, marking the third time he's been promoted to the active roster. He has two catches across those three games. With Taylor out of elevations, the Jets will have to add the wide receiver to the active roster in order to use him again on game days this season.

Jets' Malik Taylor: Joins active roster
Taylor was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster by the Jets on Saturday.
The wide receiver was also elevated for the team's Week 9 game against the Chargers. Over two appearances this season, Taylor has one catch for seven yards on two targets.

Malik Taylor: Going back to practice squad
Taylor reverted to the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
In his second appearance this season Monday, Taylor turned two targets into one catch for seven yards. Zach Wilson and the Jets' passing offense have been dreadful through eight games this season, so any Jets pass catcher not named Garrett Wilson has essentially been radioactive for the purposes of fantasy.

Jets' Malik Taylor: One catch in Week 9 loss
Taylor caught one of two targets for seven yards in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers.
Taylor was elevated from the practice squad for a second consecutive game and saw more involvement than he did in Week 8 against the Giants. The target he didn't catch was a deep ball on which Taylor failed to locate the football. New York's lack of depth at wide receiver could lead to more opportunities for Taylor moving forward, but he's unlikely to move the needle in fantasy.

Malik Taylor: Reverts to practice squad
Taylor reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.
Taylor was called up with both Randall Cobb (shoulder) and Irvin Charles (shoulder) out and played 23 snaps on offense. The 27-year-old didn't record any stats but managed to draw a defensive pass interference penalty and could be elevated again next week versus the Chargers if either Cobb or Charles is out again.

Jets' Malik Taylor: Moves up from practice squad
The Jets elevated Taylor to the active roster Saturday.
Taylor joined the Jets' practice squad Sept. 12 after being cut by the team ahead of the 53-man roster deadline at the end of training camp. He last played for the Packers in 2021 and was mostly utilized on special teams over 10 games that season. He could see some playing time Sunday against the Giants on special teams and potentially as a depth wide receiver, with Randall Cobb (shoulder) and Irvin Charles (shoulder) both dealing with injuries.

Malik Taylor: Back with Jets' practice squad
The Jets signed Taylor to their practice squad Tuesday.
In a corresponding move, linebacker Caleb Johnson was cut from the practice squad. The Jets already carry seven healthy wide receivers on their active roster, so it would be surprising to see Taylor elevated anytime soon.

Malik Taylor: Let go by Jets
The Jets cut Taylor with a non-football illness designation Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Taylor made some noise for the Jets in the preseason, so it may be that his current illness negatively impacted his chances of making the initial 53-man roster. Of course, the former Packer always faced long odds to stick beyond the offseason, given the team's depth at the position. From 2020-21, Taylor suited up for 25 games in Green Bay as a depth wideout.

Jets' Malik Taylor: Makes 57-yard grab
Taylor caught one of two targets for 57 yards in Thursday's 21-16 preseason loss to the Browns.
Taylor made a nice catch on a deep ball down the sideline from Zach Wilson in the first quarter. The former Packers wide receiver remains a long shot to make the Jets' roster, but Taylor made a nice impression in the preseason opener, as no other Jet reached 20 receiving yards.
