Lazard didn't practice Wednesday due to a chest injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The injury is a new one for Lazard, who had four catches for 58 yards in this past Sunday's loss to the Steelers while former Packers teammate Davante Adams made his Jets debut. Even if Lazard returns to practice and avoids an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, he's likely to operate as a distant No. 3 on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart behind Adams and Garrett Wilson.
