EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard was placed on injured reserve Thursday, leaving quarterback Aaron Rodgers without one of his top receivers for at least the next four games.

Lazard, who suffered a chest injury in the Week 7 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, had been used as the No. 3 receiver, behind Garrett Wilson and recently acquired Davante Adams. Lazard's absence means the Jets are more likely to retain Mike Williams instead of making him available for trades.
