Jaguars injured starting wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis are expected to play Sunday when Jacksonville hosts the Minnesota Vikings, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported late Saturday night.
Jacksonville listed Thomas (chest) and Davis (shoulder) as questionable to play in Week 10 on the club’s Friday injury report.
Both players experienced their injuries against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, although Davis had hurt the same shoulder earlier in the season, per Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson.
Thomas managed to play hurt against the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday in Week 9; Davis did not.
Thomas, Jacksonville’s No. 23 overall pick in the first round of April’s NFL draft, has caught 35 passes for 595 yards and five touchdowns during his explosive rookie campaign, the latter two stats ranking among the top 10 in the NFL this year.
Davis, who signed a three-year, $39 million free-agent contract with Jacksonville in March, has logged 18 receptions for 217 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Thomas and Davis’ availability is welcome news to the Jaguars as they will reportedly be without starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) against the Vikings on Sunday.
Mac Jones will make his first start since being traded to Jacksonville from New England in Lawrence’s place.
