Former Colorado Buffaloes star Laviska Shenault posted a dud of a game on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Then came a report that Shenault was scheduled for an MRI and things were starting to look worrisome for the second-year wide receiver.
But, Shenault and the Jaguars received some good news on Monday, and he is expected to play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
That is terrific news for the Jaguars as the ex-Buffs star has avoided a major injury. At the time, it was thought to be a significant shoulder issue, with some even saying he tore his labrum.
But, Shenault should be ready to go as the Jaguars aim to get their first win in the Trevor Lawrence-Urban Meyer era.
Jaguars’ WR Laviska Shenault, who injured his shoulder during Sunday’s loss to Denver, is expected to be able to play Sunday at home vs. Arizona, per Urban Meyer.

Shenault and the Jags are hoping for a bounce back after a rough start to the 2021 season. The Jags lost to the Houston Texans in shocking fashion, and then they lost in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos as Lawrence and the offense has seemed to hit a wall.
Shenault was wildly unproductive on Sunday, failing to gain positive yardage. To be fair, the Jags as a whole were ineffective on offense and suddenly Meyer is at an 0-2 spot.
The game Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals won’t be any easier, as Kyler Murray has been balling, and Kliff Kingsbury’s team is 2-0 to begin the 2021 campaign.
Nonetheless, terrific news regarding Shenault, and the hope is that his Week 2 outing was a rare occurrence.
