The New York Jets have a wide receiver problem. The WR2 spot on the depth chart behind Garrett Wilson is a problem. This isn't breaking news. However, heading into Week 2, there was some hope, no matter how slim, that Allen Lazard could provide a spark in his return to the lineup.
With Josh Reynolds out with a hamstring injury, Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills was Lazard's best shot to prove that he could be a factor and be a suitable running mate for Wilson.
For his part, Lazard said all the right things after being a healthy scratch in the opener as head coach Aaron Glenn decided to give him another week to "get up to speed" after missing time in training camp.
