'For some time now, I've been contemplating stepping away from the sport of football,' Jets WR Corey Davis said. 'This decision has not been easy.'
Draft by the Tennessee Titans has accounted for 3,879 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns over six professional seasons. Davis finished second among Jets wide receivers in yards last season and figured to factor into the passing game again in 2023.
The Jets added several wide receivers in free agency, so fans don't have reason to panic. But Davis' departure still leaves a hole on the roster.Corey Davis #84 of the New York Jets looks on from the sidelines against the Philadelphia Eagles in the second half of the preseason game at Lincoln Financial Field on August 12, 2022, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Jets defeated the Eagles 24-21.
About an hour after Davis' announcement, Lazard left practice early for undisclosed reasons, according to ESPN. The Jets have yet to update Lazard's status or disclose any injury. Lazard is the only Jets receiver over 6 feet tall with significant NFL experience now that Davis is gone.
