With nearly two weeks to prepare, Jets receiver Allen Lazard expects to be ready for the season opener Sept. 7 against the Steelers.
The eight-year NFL veteran told The Post that his injured right shoulder feels good and that he should be good to go for Week 1 after suffering the injury in the first preseason game, against the Packers, his former team.
“It’s part of the game. Whether it happens in camp, OTAs, in the season, it’s just part of the game,” Lazard said before practice. “I’ve just been trying to stay focused in meetings and everything, stay in shape. I’m excited to get back out there today and be with the guys.”
