The Jaguars are already facing a dilemma at the receiver position. Rookie Travis Hunter has been placed on the injured reserve list due to a non-contact knee injury suffered during practice. This compounds the challenge for the Jaguars as they seek offensive stability.
Impact of Travis Hunter’s Injury
Travis Hunter’s absence is felt within the team. His teammates acknowledge that losing him diminishes the team’s energy and drive. The Jaguars will need to adjust their strategy without him.
Brian Thomas Jr. Also Faces Injury Concerns
Additionally, Brian Thomas Jr. had his ankle evaluated after a tackle during a significant 34-yard reception. Despite his brief exit from the game, he returned without an official injury designation from the team, suggesting he will continue to contribute.
Potential Replacements and Adjustments
With Brown likely sidelined, the coaching staff aims to fill the void in kick return duties. Rookie running back LeQuint Allen Jr. is expected to step in for kick returns. Receiver Tim Jones, along with Austin Trammell, Parker Washington, and Thomas Jr., will be necessary for the Jaguars’ offensive strategy moving forward.
