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

Jets' Mason Taylor: 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.
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 in the Jets' first two games.

Jets' Mason Taylor: 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.
Taylor exited Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers due to a thumb issue and doesn't look like he'll be able to practice in any fashion while he recovers from the injury. Though Taylor was on the field for about two-thirds of the Jets' offensive snaps in a Week 1 win over the Titans, his playing time was expected to decline once rookie first-rounder Kenyon Sadiq was fully up to speed after missing most of training camp and the preseason due to a hernia. Taylor's expected absence against Detroit should clear the way for Sadiq to see his largest share of playing time to date, and Jeremy Ruckert could also benefit from an expanded role at tight end.

Jets' Mason Taylor: 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.
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.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Minimal production in Week 1
Taylor caught two of three targets for minus-2 yards in the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Taylor got the start at tight end and played 44 of 67 offensive snaps. He ran 16 routes on Geno Smith's 26 dropbacks but had a laughable zero-yard average depth of target, giving him no chance to produce much in the box score. Taylor has next to no fantasy value in the Jets' low-volume passing offense that will feature Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall first and foremost.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Starter on initial depth chart
Taylor is listed as a starting tight end on the Jets' initial depth chart ahead of a Week 1 game against the Titans.
New York listed both Taylor and Jeremy Ruckert as starters at tight end, notably omitting first-round rookie Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) after he missed most of the summer recovering from hernia surgery. Sadiq is on track to play Week 1 against Tennessee, but he's going to have to earn his spot over Taylor and Ruckert. Taylor fits the mold more as a traditional in-line Y tight end, while Sadiq profiles more as an F tight end, functioning as a big slot receiver. Taylor could be a factor in the red zone this season.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Contributes chain-moving catch Friday
Taylor caught his only target for 10 yards in Friday's 17-0 preseason win over the Steelers.
Taylor has been operating as the team's top tight end in training camp, as rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) has been sidelined since the first week of August. Backup TE Jelani Woods capped the opening drive with a touchdown catch Friday, four plays after Taylor moved the chains with a 10-yard grab on third-and-9. Even once Sadiq gets healthy, Taylor's reliability as both a pass catcher and blocker should allow the 2025 second-round pick to maintain a sizable role.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Headed for big Week 1 role?
Taylor could see more opportunities this summer after teammate Kenyon Sadiq (sports hernia) suffered a setback in his return from May surgery, ESPN.com's Rich Cimini reports.
Fantasy interest in Taylor took a cliff dive after the Jets drafted Sadiq in the first round this spring. While the rookie's presence is still a huge issue for Taylor's long-term outlook, it won't be at all surprising if the 2025 second-round pick is a Week 1 starter with a workload of 40-plus snaps. If nothing else, Taylor retains some appeal as a dynasty bench stash and an endgame pick for best ball. Streaming value for redraft is also possible, especially if Sadiq isn't ready for Week 1 or otherwise doesn't have much of a role early in the season. Jets coach Aaron Glenn did say Tuesday that he still hopes for Sadiq to be ready by Week 1.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Jets bolster TE room in Round 1
Taylor will face increased competition for targets and playing time at tight end, as Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports that the Jets drafted Kenyon Sadiq 16th overall Thursday.
Sadiq has more upside as a pass catcher than Taylor, as the rookie first-round pick had 51 catches for 560 yards and eight touchdowns at Oregon in 2025 and set a position record with a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. That being said, Cimini believes Taylor will still get plenty of playing time, with the Jets likely to use a lot of formations featuring multiple tight ends. Taylor caught 44 of 65 targets for 369 yards and one touchdown as a rookie after being selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
