The New York Jets rule tight end Mason Taylor out of Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions due to a thumb injury. Coach Aaron Glenn announces that Taylor will not play after he was hurt in the team’s previous game against Green Bay last Sunday.
Taylor joins other Jets players who are listed as unavailable. The reports say safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin) and linebacker Kiko Mauigoa (quadriceps) also will miss the contest. Separate coverage also indicates wide receiver Adonai Mitchell’s status is uncertain ahead of the matchup.
All outlets attribute Taylor’s absence to the thumb injury and note it was sustained in the Week 2 game versus Green Bay. They also reference Taylor’s early-season production, describing a slow start following his rookie season, including limited receptions through the first two games. The overall difference between reports centers on which players have confirmed injuries versus those with uncertain availability, particularly regarding Mitchell.
