Jets Rookie TE Mason Taylor Sidelined by High Ankle Sprain
5 Aug
Summary
- Jets confirm Mason Taylor dealing with high ankle sprain
- Taylor expected to miss at least a week, uncertain return date
- Taylor, son of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, had high expectations
As the New York Jets prepare for the 2025 NFL season, their rookie tight end Mason Taylor has found himself in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. On Tuesday, August 5th, 2025, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that Taylor is dealing with a high ankle sprain, an injury that will sideline him for at least a week.
The injury comes as a setback for the Jets and fantasy managers who had high expectations for Taylor heading into his rookie campaign. The 22-year-old, who is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, played his entire collegiate career at LSU, where he recorded 1,308 yards and six touchdowns on 129 receptions across three seasons.
With the Jets' first preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on August 12th, 2025, it is clear that Taylor will not be suiting up for that matchup. The team's second preseason game against the New York Giants on August 16th and the final preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles on August 22nd also remain in doubt for the young tight end.
However, the Jets still have over a month until they begin their regular season, and the focus will be on Taylor's rehabilitation process. Fantasy managers will need to closely monitor the situation and wait for further updates on the player's status before deciding whether to select him for the start of the 2025 season.
