The Jets are dealing with yet another hit to their roster, with tight end Mason Taylor now considered week-to-week following a thumb injury.
Rough Starts and Missing Pieces
Man, talk about a rough start. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media dropped the news that Taylor is battling a thumb injury, and it puts the Jets in a tough spot for their Week 3 game in Detroit. The guy had started both of their first two games, which makes this even more wild. What did those starts look like? In Week 1’s win over the Titans, he grabbed two catches, but those actually lost them two yards. Then, in Sunday’s loss to the Packers, he didn’t even snag a single pass.
Who Steps Up Now?
This isn’t just about Taylor, either. The Jets already had to put three other players on injured reserve just this past Tuesday. Losing another offensive piece, even one who hasn’t lit up the stat sheet, adds pressure. Who steps up? They’ve got first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq, plus Jeremy Ruckert and Jelani Woods on the 53-man roster, so the depth chart is about to get a shake-up.
With their Week 3 matchup in Detroit looming, all eyes are gonna be on the Jets’ first injury report, which drops Wednesday. How they shuffle their tight ends and how this impacts their offensive game plan is gonna be huge. They need answers, and fast.
