Placed on injured reserve The Jets placed Taylor (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Taylor was already ruled out for Week 18 against the Bills, but the move corresponds with other moves the Jets made ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale. The rookie second-rounder ended up missing the final four games of the regular season due to a neck injury, but he should be healthy for the start of the 2026 campaign. Taylor will finish his first NFL season with 44 catches (on 65 targets) for 369 yards and one touchdown across 13 games.

Won't play in Week 18 Coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Taylor (neck) won't play in the Jets' season finale against the Bills.

Impact The same applies to Jelani Woods (hamstring), which leaves Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt as the 3-13 Jets' top available tight ends this weekend. Taylor, who last played in Week 14, thus finishes his rookie campaign with 44 catches for 369 yards and a TD (on 65 targets) in 13 regular-season contests. Looking ahead, the 2025 second-rounder should maintain his key role in the Jets offense next season, but look for plenty of personnel changes this offseason in terms of the team's skill positions.

Still not practicing Taylor (neck) did not practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor appears an unlikely candidate to retake the field in time for New York's regular-season finale against the Bills. The rookie tight end hasn't played since Week 14, and he's now missed back-to-back practices in advance of Sunday's road divisional matchup. If Taylor can't play Sunday, he will wrap his rookie campaign with 44 catches for 369 yards and one score across 13 regular-season appearances.

Won't practice Wednesday Taylor (neck) will not practice Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Taylor hasn't played since Week 14. If the rookie tight end is unable to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Bills, the Jets will once again roll with Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt and Jelani Woods at tight end.

Won't play Sunday Taylor (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Taylor, who last saw game action in Week 14, will thus target a potential return to action in the Jets' season finale next weekend when the team faces the Bills in Week 18. In Taylor's continued absence, Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt and Jelani Woods will handle TE duties against New England. In New York's Week 16 loss to New Orleans, Smartt was the busiest of the trio, catching all five of his targets for 34 yards, while Ruckert caught two of his three targets for 14 yards and Woods didn't record a catch (on two targets).

Listed as non-participant Taylor (neck) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Jets did not hold an official practice session Thursday, but Taylor is nonetheless certainly trending in the wrong direction for Week 17. He's already missed two straight games and was similarly unable to practice Wednesday. Taylor will have one more opportunity to retake the practice field ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

DECEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Taylor (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor has missed two straight games, and a 'DNP' on Wednesday isn't a good sign as Sunday's contest against New England approaches. If he remains sidelined this weekend, Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt and Jelani Woods would handle the Jets' Week 17 TE duties, as they did in the team's Week 16 loss to New Orleans, a game which Smartt was the busiest of the trio, catching all five of his targets for 34 yards.

Missing second straight game Taylor (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Taylor will miss a second consecutive game, and he hasn't practiced during his absence. Newly extended Jeremy Ruckert will top the Jets' tight end depth chart in Sunday's battle between cellar-dwellers. Taylor's next chance to play will be Week 17 against the Patriots.

Fifth straight practice absence Taylor (neck) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor missed a fifth consecutive practice Thursday due to a neck injury, which kept him out of the Jets' Week 15 loss to Jacksonville. Barring a surprisingly abrupt recovery from Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert is set to continue filling in as the Jets' primary tight end Sunday against the Saints, with the latter fresh off signing a two-year extension.

Listed as DNP Taylor (neck) is listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor didn't participate last week and apparently wouldn't have practiced Wednesday if the Jets had held a normal session. It's not looking great for Sunday's game at New Orleans, potentially giving Jeremy Ruckert another chance to fill in as the starting tight end.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Ruled out for Week 15 Jets head coach Aaron Glenn ruled Taylor (neck) out for Sunday's game in Jacksonville.

Impact Taylor was unable to practice in any fashion this week and will now miss his first game of the season as he tends to the neck injury. The timing of the absence is a tough break for Taylor, who had recorded five catches for 51 yards -- his most since Week 5 -- on eight targets in this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. With Taylor sidelined this weekend, the Jets will likely turn to Jeremy Ruckert as their starting tight end.
