Jets' Mason Taylor: Ruled out for Week 4
Taylor (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Taylor remained out of practice this week and will miss a second straight game. Provided he's healthy enough to play, Kenyon Sadiq (back) should handle more of the workload at tight end once again for the Jets after he secured seven of eight targets for 105 yards and a touchdown last Sunday against Detroit.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Sits out another practice
Taylor (thumb) didn't practice Thursday.
Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, head coach Aaron Glenn labeled Taylor as week-to-week Wednesday, so it comes as little surprise that the second-year tight end wound up sitting out practice for the second day in a row. Unless Taylor is unexpectedly able to return to the practice field in some fashion Friday, he'll likely be officially ruled out for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Jets' Mason Taylor: DNP on Wednesday, remains week-to-week
Taylor (thumb) will not practice Wednesday and remains week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Taylor appears set to miss a second straight game Sunday against the Bears. With Taylor out last Sunday against the Lions, first-round rookie Kenyon Sadiq played a season-high 57.6 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps and posted a 7-105-1 receiving line on eight targets. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) also week-to-week for Gang Green, Sadiq has a path to once again play a prominent pass-catching role versus Chicago.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Ruled out for Week 3
Taylor (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Detroit.
Taylor reportedly is viewed as week-to-week after injuring his thumb during a Week 2 loss to the Packers. His absence should free up more playing time for rookie Kenyon Sadiq, but the Jets may also distribute some of Taylor's usual snaps to reserve tight ends Jeremy Ruckert and Jelani Woods.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Sits out another practice
Taylor (thumb) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
After sitting out both of the Jets' first two Week 3 practices, Taylor appears to be trending toward sitting out Sunday's game in Detroit. Taylor's likely absence this weekend would clear the way for rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq to take on increased reps as the Jets' clear No. 1 option at tight end.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Not practicing to begin Week 3
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Taylor (thumb) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Glenn noted that Taylor will be "just fine" after exiting this past Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers due to the thumb injury, but the second-year tight end still appears likely to miss time. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that Taylor is viewed as week-to-week, and unless he's able to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he'll presumably be ruled out in advance of Sunday's game in Detroit. If Taylor ends up being sidelined for Week 3, rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq could be in line for a big uptick in playing time after handling and 42 and 36 percent snap shares in the Jets' first two games.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Likely out for Week 3
Taylor (thumb) is considered week-to-week and will likely miss Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Taylor exited Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers due to a thumb issue and doesn't look like he'll be able to practice in any fashion while he recovers from the injury. Though Taylor was on the field for about two-thirds of the Jets' offensive snaps in a Week 1 win over the Titans, his playing time was expected to decline once rookie first-rounder Kenyon Sadiq was fully up to speed after missing most of training camp and the preseason due to a hernia. Taylor's expected absence against Detroit should clear the way for Sadiq to see his largest share of playing time to date, and Jeremy Ruckert could also benefit from an expanded role at tight end.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Iffy to return due to thumb injury
Taylor (thumb) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Taylor appeared to have picked up the thumb injury during the second half or overtime and is questionable to return. Rookie first-rounder Kenyon Sadiq will serve as the Jets' TE1 for as long as Taylor is out of the game, with Jeremy Ruckert and Andrew Beck providing depth at the position.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Minimal production in Week 1
Taylor caught two of three targets for minus-2 yards in the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Taylor got the start at tight end and played 44 of 67 offensive snaps. He ran 16 routes on Geno Smith's 26 dropbacks but had a laughable zero-yard average depth of target, giving him no chance to produce much in the box score. Taylor has next to no fantasy value in the Jets' low-volume passing offense that will feature Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall first and foremost.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Starter on initial depth chart
Taylor is listed as a starting tight end on the Jets' initial depth chart ahead of a Week 1 game against the Titans.
New York listed both Taylor and Jeremy Ruckert as starters at tight end, notably omitting first-round rookie Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) after he missed most of the summer recovering from hernia surgery. Sadiq is on track to play Week 1 against Tennessee, but he's going to have to earn his spot over Taylor and Ruckert. Taylor fits the mold more as a traditional in-line Y tight end, while Sadiq profiles more as an F tight end, functioning as a big slot receiver. Taylor could be a factor in the red zone this season.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Contributes chain-moving catch Friday
Taylor caught his only target for 10 yards in Friday's 17-0 preseason win over the Steelers.
Taylor has been operating as the team's top tight end in training camp, as rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) has been sidelined since the first week of August. Backup TE Jelani Woods capped the opening drive with a touchdown catch Friday, four plays after Taylor moved the chains with a 10-yard grab on third-and-9. Even once Sadiq gets healthy, Taylor's reliability as both a pass catcher and blocker should allow the 2025 second-round pick to maintain a sizable role.
