The New York Jets have placed wide receiver Allen Lazard on injured reserve due to a chest injury, leaving quarterback Aaron Rodgers without one of his key targets for at least the next four games. Lazard's absence is expected to increase the likelihood of the Jets retaining Mike Williams, who has seen reduced playing time following the acquisition of Davante Adams. The Jets also made additional roster moves, including signing kicker Riley Patterson to replace the struggling Greg Zuerlein.

• Allen Lazard's injury is a significant blow to the Jets' offense.
• Mike Williams' role in the offense is likely to increase with Lazard out.
• The Jets are making changes in their kicking game with the addition of Riley Patterson.
