Jaguars place WR Christian Kirk on injured reserve

Jaguars place WR Christian Kirk on injured reserve

The Jaguars placed starting slot receiver Christian Kirk on their injured reserve Saturday, officially ending his season after he suffered a broken collarbone in Jacksonville’s Week 8 matchup with the Green Bay Packers.

Kirk landed on his shoulder while attempting to catch a fourth-quarter, 3rd and 11 pass from Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper fell on top of Kirk as he made contact with the ground.

Kirk finishes the 2024 season, his seventh in the NFL and third with Jacksonville, with 27 receptions for 379 yards and one touchdown, bringing his three-year, 37-game line with the Jaguars to 168 receptions for 2,274 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Kirk took to Instagram to share a message with Jaguars fans when it was revealed he would miss the rest of the campaign.

Defining moments like this in our lives provide an opportunity to show who we are in our core. The “obstacle” is always the way, and that’s how I choose to attack it. My journey is far from over in this league, and know I’ll be back better than ever.

To Duval, my teammates, coaches, and family, I’m sorry that I won’t be out there for the rest of the season. I’ve loved every moment of being apart of this organization, and hopefully will spend many more Sundays in a Jags uniform.

I love this game more than anything.. I promise you will see the best version of myself come next season… until then.

  • OG Brandon Scherff (knee) — did not practice
  • OG Ezra Cleveland (ankle) — did not practice

Analysis: Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson called starting wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis, and starting guards Brandon Scherff and Ezra Cleveland “day-to-day” on Wednesday as they recover from injuries suffered against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.

Starting slot receiver Christian Kirk will miss the rest of the season after breaking his collarbone against the Packers. He is expected to transition to the injured reserve.

Pederson said Wednesday that the Jaguars “should get” starting running back Travis Etienne Jr. back this week after he missed their last two games with a hamstring injury, but noted the team will observe how Etienne feels in practice.

Tank Bigsby, who has operated as Jacksonville’s No. 1 running back with Etienne absent, was added to the report with an ankle injury that limited him in Wednesday’s practice.

Eagles injury report

  • OT Mekhi Becton (concussion) — limited
  • TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) — did not practice

Jaguars vs. Packers: Final injury reports, game statuses

The Jaguars and Packers carry 10 combined game designations into their Week 8 matchup in Jacksonville, including nine questionable players and one on Green Bay’s side doubtful.

Find Jacksonville and Green Bay’s final injury reports and Friday game statuses for Week 8 below.

* indicates upgraded status from the previous practice 

^ indicates player is designated to return from injured reserve

Jaguars injury report

  • TE Evan Engram (hamstring) — full
  • DE Arik Armstead (shoulder) — full*
  • RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) — limited
  • WR Gabe Davis (knee) — limited
  • OT Cam Robinson (concussion) — limited
  • DT Esezi Otomewo (calf) — limited
  • LB Foyesade Oluokun^ (foot) — limited
  • S Andrew Wingard^ (knee) — limited
  • DT Maason Smith (ankle) — did not participate

Jaguars game statuses

  • RB Travis Etienne Jr.: QUESTIONABLE
  • OL Cam Robinson: QUESTIONABLE
  • DT Maason Smith: QUESTIONABLE
  • DT Esezi Otomewo: QUESTIONABLE
  • LB Foyesade Oluokun: QUESTIONABLE
  • S Andrew Wingard: QUESTIONABLE

Analysis: Rookie defensive lineman Maason Smith was added to Jacksonville’s injury report Friday, making his status the only true surprise from this group. Left tackle Cam Robinson is questionable, as expected, as he has not yet cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Jacksonville faces decisions on whether to activate linebacker Foyesade Oluokun and safety Andrew Wingard ahead of Sunday’s matchup, hence their questionable statuses. The Jaguars’ roster currently stands at 51 players, giving them the room to make such moves.

Packers injury report

  • WR Christian Watson (ankle) — full*
  • WR Jayden Reed (ankle) — full*
  • DL Kenny Clark (toe) — full*
  • DL Devonte Wyatt (ankle) — full
  • DL Colby Wooden (knee) — full
  • CB Jaire Alexander (groin) — full*
  • CB Keisean Nixon (hamstring) — full*
  • OL Elgton Jenkins (glute) — limited
  • OL Josh Myers (wrist) — limited
  • LB Quay Walker (concussion) — limited
  • CB Corey Ballentine (ankle) — did not participate

Packers game statuses

  • OL Josh Myers: QUESTIONABLE
  • DL Devonte Wyatt: QUESTIONABLE
  • LB Quay Walker: QUESTIONABLE
  • CB Corey Ballentine: DOUBTFUL

Analysis: Center Josh Myers, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt and linebacker Quay Walker, all starters, enter the matchup questionable, with backup cornerback Corey Ballentine unlikely to play.

Ballentine’s status would be more significant if starting Packers corners, Jaire Alexander and Keiseann Nixon, carried statuses into the game. But both players were upgraded from limited to full practice participants Friday, a sign they are good to go.

  • S Andrew Wingard^ (knee) — limited

Analysis: Jaguars tight end Evan Engram practiced in full for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 2 and returning to action in Week 6 on Thursday, likely an indication he will no longer appear on the injury report starting next week, barring any setback.

Engram has logged 15 receptions for 137 yards in his two games back from injury.

Jacksonville left tackle Cam Robinson, who entered the NFL concussion protocol this week after getting hurt in Week 7, practiced in a limited fashion while wearing a no-contact jersey on Thursday, after not working on Wednesday.

  • S Andrew Wingard (knee) — limited
  • OT Cam Robinson (concussion) — did not participate

Analysis: As Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said before practice, left tackle Cam Robinson is in the NFL concussion protocol and therefore was unable to practice Wednesday. He was Jacksonville’s only unavailable player to begin the week.

Running back Travis Etienne Jr. is “day-to-day” after missing Week 7 with a hamstring injury, per Pederson. Wide receiver Gabe Davis, tight end Evan Engram and defensive end Arik Armstead remain limited on the injury report after playing through their injuries last week.

Linebacker Foyesade Oluokun and safety Andrew Wingard practiced for the first time Wednesday since their placements on the injured reserve earlier this season, Oluokun in Week 5 and Wingard in August. Their 21-day practice windows were opened on Tuesday.

Packers injury report

  • DL Devonte Wyatt (ankle) — full
  • DL Colby Wooden (knee) — full

  • OL Josh Myers (wrist) — did not participate
  • LB Quay Walker (concussion) — did not participate

Analysis: The Packers’ injury report is littered with starters who either practiced in various capacities or not at all on Wednesday, the latter group containing left guard Elgton Jenkins, center Josh Myers and linebacker Quay Walker.

Fellow starters, wide receivers Jayden Reed and Christian Watson, defensive tackle Kenny Clark, and cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Keisan Nixon were limited to begin the week.

Is Vita Vea playing against the Ravens? Injury updates for Bucs DL

Vita Vea missed some time earlier in the season, and since he returned to the lineup, the entire defense has had a facelift.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been dealing with some injuries, most notably with Mike Evans. However, there is also a major injury on the defensive side that is worth monitoring: Vita Vea.

Vita Vea missed some time earlier in the season, and since he returned to the lineup, the entire defense has had a facelift. The run defense he offers as well as his ability to get pressure on the quarterback.

We got an update on his status for the game against the Ravens in primetime early on Monday.

Vita Vea injury update

Vita Vea popped up on the injury report late at the end of last week with a hamstring injury. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that Vea will be available and start for the Bucs on Monday night despite the issue.

Vea has a sack in three straight games for the Bucs since returning to the lineup. He will have a tall task to do som against reigning MVP Lamar Jackson. His presence alone will help the defense, but it is yet to be seen how impactful he will be with his injury or if he will be on a snap count.

Bucs defensive lineman depth chart

  • Vita Vea
  • Calijah Kancey
  • Logan Hall
  • Greg Gaines
  • C.J. Brewer
  • William Gholston
