        Mason Taylor Sidelined by High Ankle Sprain as Season Nears

        Jets rookie TE Mason Taylor has a high ankle sprain and will miss at least a week, according to HC Aaron Glenn. Taylor is competing for the Jets’ starting job, and this type of injury could sideline him for the rest of training camp and preseason. Despite Glenn downplaying it, Taylor’s Week 1 status could be in doubt.

        What They're Saying

        Rich Cimini of ESPN: "Mason Taylor has a high ankle sprain, out at least a week, per Glenn. Tyrod Taylor being evaluated for knee injury; not a long term injury, Glenn says. McDonald (back spasms) and Cowart (ankle) also dealing with injuries."

        PT Jeff Mueller of Destination Devy: "High ankle sprain. Will miss a large chunk of time of prep leading up to the regular season. This will likely delay in-season production."

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        High ankle sprains often linger for weeks, sometimes months, even if a player returns to the field.

        Taylor is competing with Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt for the starting job. A multi-week absence could set him back.

        The injury makes Taylor an easy pass in shallow redraft leagues, with healthier reserve TEs available late.

        Dynasty Impact

        This shouldn't impact Taylor's dynasty status, but it would have been great to see him participate in the preseason fully healthy.
