Injury allows Jets' third-round rookie WR to suit up vs. Patriots

New York Jets' veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard is officially inactive for the October 27 road game against the New England Patriots, making room for a sparingly-used rookie.

With Lazard, who was listed as doubtful, on the shelf due to a chest injury, Malachi Corley is dressed for the Week 8 game. Corley, the No. 65 overall draft pick, had been a healthy scratch three weeks in a row.

Lazard, who did not practice this past week, is one of two offensive starters unavailable to New York for the Sunday matinee.
