Brian Thomas Jr Injury Update
Brian Thomas Jr. hurt his shoulder late in the Jaguars’ loss to the Rams in Week 7. He left the field holding his right arm and did not come back for the rest of the game. There was no update from the team that same day.
He spent the Week 8 bye resting. Jaguars coach Liam Coen said after the bye that Thomas was looking better and was staying with the team, not getting traded.
Reports say the injury was a shoulder problem. Some say he may have had a mental block or was protecting his shoulder while playing after the Rams game.
