Allen Lazard came to New York to play with Aaron Rodgers. With Rodgers leaving for Pittsburgh, Lazard decided to make a fresh start without Rodgers.
Lazard emerged from the preseason opener with his shoulder in a sling.
As we understand it, he landed on the shoulder while making a catch. The hope for now is that it’s a bruise.
Via Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, coach Aaron Glenn told reporters after the game at Green Bay that Lazard will [undergo additional testing](https://x.com/RichCimini/status/1954384245620670842).
Lazard caught two passes for 17 yards during the preseason opener.
The new-look Jets have put a premium on receiver blocking. Lazard has the size to do it. He’ll need to get healthy before he can get back to it.
Lazard, who took a large pay cut to stay with the Jets, is listed as a starting receiver on the team’s initial 2025 depth chart.
Four weeks from today, he’ll reunite with Rodgers when the Steelers come to town to start the season.
