Allen Lazard Out and Jets Sign New Kicker

Packers Wide Receiver and Jets' Kicking Situation

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard is out indefinitely due to an ankle injury. He suffered the injury in Sunday's game against the New York Giants. He will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.

Meanwhile, the New York Jets have signed kicker Greg Zuerlein to a one-year contract. Zuerlein was released by the Dallas Cowboys earlier this month. He has made 82.5% of his field goal attempts in his career.

Implications for Packers and Jets

Lazard's injury is a big blow to the Packers' offense. He is their leading receiver with 40 catches for 513 yards and eight touchdowns. The Packers will now need to rely more on other receivers such as Randall Cobb, Sammy Watkins, and Christian Watson.

The signing of Zuerlein gives the Jets a reliable kicker. They have struggled with kicking this season, making only 67.9% of their field goal attempts. Zuerlein should help stabilize the Jets' kicking game.

Conclusion

The injuries to Lazard and the signing of Zuerlein are significant developments for the Packers and Jets. These moves could have a major impact on both teams' seasons.
