Mason Taylor - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Secures four catches in loss Taylor caught four of six targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Taylor put together his best performance of the year, setting new season highs in catches, yards and targets. The tight end has now caught nine of 12 targets for 55 yards over four games this season. With rookie Kenyon Sadiq also heavily involved at tight end, Taylor's upside will continue to be hard to gauge moving forward.

Green light to return for Week 5 Taylor (thumb) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor strung together a trio of full practices, and the second-year rookie has been cleared to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a thumb injury. He saw just three targets through the first two games of the regular season, whereas rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq has turned 18 targets from QB Geno Smith into a 12-143-1 receiving line across four games. That said, both of the Jets tight ends could find success against a Browns defense that ranks in the bottom-10 in the league in fantasy points allowed to tight ends.

Jets' offense will be without Breece Hall, Adonai Mitchell and Dylan Parham vs. Browns

Churns out full practice Taylor (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Taylor didn't practice in any fashion and sat out for both of the Jets' past two games due to the thumb injury, but he appears to be close to 100 percent ahead of Sunday's contest against the Browns after operating with no restrictions to kick off Week 5 prep. The second-year tight end paced Jets tight ends in snaps through the first two weeks of the season, but he may have to settle for a lesser role upon his return. Rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq -- who handled light workloads the first two weeks after missing much of training camp and the preseason while recovering from hernia surgery -- has seen his snap counts ramp up over the past two weeks while Taylor was sidelined and produced a 7-105-1 receiving line on 12 targets during that stretch. Sadiq now looks poised to operate as the Jets' top option at tight end ahead of Taylor moving forward.

Back at practice Wednesday Taylor (thumb) will practice Wednesday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Taylor has missed the past two games with his thumb issue but appears to be tracking toward a Week 5 return against the Browns. He's way off the fantasy radar, and Taylor's return likely wouldn't have much of an effect on rookie Kenyon Sadiq's pass-catching role, as Taylor is more of the in-line blocker at the position for New York.

OCTOBER 2 • Associated Press

Ruled out for Week 4 Taylor (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Taylor remained out of practice this week and will miss a second straight game. Provided he's healthy enough to play, Kenyon Sadiq (back) should handle more of the workload at tight end once again for the Jets after he secured seven of eight targets for 105 yards and a touchdown last Sunday against Detroit.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out another practice Taylor (thumb) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, head coach Aaron Glenn labeled Taylor as week-to-week Wednesday, so it comes as little surprise that the second-year tight end wound up sitting out practice for the second day in a row. Unless Taylor is unexpectedly able to return to the practice field in some fashion Friday, he'll likely be officially ruled out for Sunday's game in Chicago.

DNP on Wednesday, remains week-to-week Taylor (thumb) will not practice Wednesday and remains week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Taylor appears set to miss a second straight game Sunday against the Bears. With Taylor out last Sunday against the Lions, first-round rookie Kenyon Sadiq played a season-high 57.6 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps and posted a 7-105-1 receiving line on eight targets. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) also week-to-week for Gang Green, Sadiq has a path to once again play a prominent pass-catching role versus Chicago.

Jets tight end Mason Taylor ruled out vs. Lions, wide receiver Adonai Mitchell questionable to play

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions in Detroit due to a thumb injury

SEPTEMBER 25 • Associated Press

Ruled out for Week 3 Taylor (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Impact Taylor reportedly is viewed as week-to-week after injuring his thumb during a Week 2 loss to the Packers. His absence should free up more playing time for rookie Kenyon Sadiq, but the Jets may also distribute some of Taylor's usual snaps to reserve tight ends Jeremy Ruckert and Jelani Woods.

Sits out another practice Taylor (thumb) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact After sitting out both of the Jets' first two Week 3 practices, Taylor appears to be trending toward sitting out Sunday's game in Detroit. Taylor's likely absence this weekend would clear the way for rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq to take on increased reps as the Jets' clear No. 1 option at tight end.

SEPTEMBER 23 • Associated Press

Not practicing to begin Week 3 Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Taylor (thumb) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Glenn noted that Taylor will be "just fine" after exiting this past Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers due to the thumb injury, but the second-year tight end still appears likely to miss time. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that Taylor is viewed as week-to-week, and unless he's able to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he'll presumably be ruled out in advance of Sunday's game in Detroit. If Taylor ends up being sidelined for Week 3, rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq could be in line for a big uptick in playing time after handling and 42 and 36 percent snap shares through the Jets' first two games.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out for Week 3 Taylor (thumb) is considered week-to-week and will likely miss Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact After suffering the thumb injury Sunday against Green Bay, Taylor now appears headed for at least a one-game absence. The Jets would need to turn elsewhere at tight end if he sits, with Kenyon Sadiq and Jeremy Ruckert among the available options.

Iffy to return due to thumb injury Taylor (thumb) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Taylor appeared to have picked up the thumb injury during the second half or overtime and is questionable to return. Rookie first-rounder Kenyon Sadiq will serve as the Jets' TE1 for as long as Taylor is out of the game, with Jeremy Ruckert and Andrew Beck providing depth at the position.
