New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard will miss at least four games after being placed on injured reserve with a chest injury, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
Lazard was already sidelined for last Sunday's Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots, and will now miss Thursday night's Week 9 game against the Houston Texans.
Given the Jets' Week 12 bye, he could return at the earliest on Dec. 8 for a Week 14 game against the Miami Dolphins.
The veteran wideout had made 30 catches for 412 yards and a team-high five receiving touchdowns through seven games.
