Mason Taylor News: Back at practice in full

Taylor (ankle) is participating in team drills Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Taylor was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain last week, an injury with a recovery timetable usually in the range of multiple weeks, but the 2025 second-round pick already appears to be practicing in full. That's an extremely positive development for Taylor, who missed the Jets' preseason opener but could suit up for Saturday's exhibition game against the Giants. Taylor is already entrenched atop the depth chart at tight end, and New York's pass-catching corps has little in the way of playmakers behind Garrett Wilson, so the rookie could handle a substantial role right out of the gate.
