The Jets have placed wide receiver Malik Taylor on injured reserve which could be somewhat of a blow to the group. Taylor has some history with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and was having a strong camp. There was certainly a chance Taylor was going to make the 53 but now he goes on the shelf.

He did spend last season in the UFL as a member of the San Antonio Brahmas where he logged five tackles and a pair of sacks.
