Story summary

The New York Jets will be without running back Breece Hall and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell on Sunday when they face the Cleveland Browns, but second-year tight end Mason Taylor is set to return after missing two games due to a right thumb injury. Taylor expressed uncertainty about how he sustained the injury during a play against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2, but noted that he healed quickly and is now ready to play. The Jets selected Taylor in the second round of the 2025 draft from LSU, where he had impressive rookie numbers with 44 catches for 369 yards and one touchdown. Despite his recent struggles—only two catches for minus-2 yards this season—head coach Aaron Glenn maintains high expectations for Taylor's performance moving forward.
