Jaguars Rework WR Group After Hunter Goes on IR, Brian Thomas Jr. Has Chance for Week 10

Practice participation this week will determine Brian Thomas Jr.'s availability against Houston.

Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Thomas has a low-grade high-ankle sprain and "has a chance to play" in Week 10 versus the Texans.
  • Jacksonville will issue its first Week 10 practice report Wednesday, which will clarify whether Thomas is trending toward playing.
  • Thomas leads the team with 60 targets, 30 catches and 420 yards, and he played a season-low 65% of snaps in Week 9 after the injury.
  • Rookie two-way standout Travis Hunter is on injured reserve with a non-contact knee injury and cannot return before Week 13 against the Titans.
  • To bolster depth, the Jaguars acquired Jakobi Meyers at the trade deadline and may elevate practice-squad receivers Austin Trammell, Tim Jones or Chandler Brayboy.
