He has been a star rookie receiver for the Jaguars this season, catching 33 passes for 573 yards (17.4 YPC) and 5 TDs in 8 games. His 573 receiving yards rank sixth in the NFL. Here are his 5 TD receptions this season:
The Jaguars’ receiving leaders:
JAX receiving | Rec | Yards | YPC | TD |
Brian Thomas | 33 | 573 | 17.4 | 5 |
Christian Kirk | 27 | 379 | 14.0 | 1 |
Gabe Davis | 18 | 217 | 12.1 | 2 |
Brenton Strange | 18 | 190 | 10.6 | 2 |
Evan Engram | 20 | 178 | 8.9 | 1 |
As you can see, Thomas and Kirk are the Jags’ leading receivers.
• Scherff and Cleveland are the Jags’ starting guards. Both came out of the game during Jacksonville’s Week 8 matchup against the Packers.
Other notable players on IR, PUP, suspension, etc.
• S Tashaun Gipson (Suspended): Gipson is in his 13th NFL season, with 173 regular season games played and 165 starts. He got popped for PEDs this summer.
• S Andrew Wingard (IR): Wingard is a role player for the Jags defense. He has not yet played in any games this season, but had his 21-day practice window opened last week.
• WR/RS Devin Duvernay (IR): Duvernay is mainly a return specialist. With Duvernay out, Parker Washington has been the primary returner, and he took a punt to the house Week 7 against the Patriots.
