Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Quiet in Week 10 loss
Thomas caught two of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.The rookie first-round pick played 86 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps but saw fewer than five targets for the third straight game. The Jacksonville Jaguars struggled to move the ball with Mac Jones under center, and Thomas' fantasy upside is likely to be limited while Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is unavailable.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Ready to go Sunday
Thomas (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.The Jacksonville Jaguars listed Thomas as questionable for the second week in a row due to the chest contusion he suffered in a Week 8 loss to the Packers, but he'll once again suit up despite being a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday. In the Jaguars' Week 9 loss to the Eagles, Thomas' playing time wasn't affected -- he played 90 percent of the offensive snaps -- but he was contained to two catches for 22 yards on four targets. He should continue to see ample snaps as Jacksonville's No. 1 wideout in Week 10, though Thomas will be working with a new quarterback in Mac Jones, who is stepping in for the injured Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Likely to play Sunday
Thomas (chest), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.Thomas appears set to play through a chest issue for a second straight week, despite initial reports that emerged in the aftermath of him suffering the injury which suggested that he could miss 2-to-4 weeks. In last Sunday's loss to Philadelphia, the rookie wideout notched just two catches for a season-low 22 yards, but he logged a season-high 90 percent of the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive snaps. Per Fowler, Gabe Davis -- Jacksonville's No. 2 wideout -- is also slated to suit up Sunday despite a shoulder injury. If Thomas plays, he'll likely be working with quarterback Mac Jones, as Trevor Lawrence is expected to sit out with a shoulder injury.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Questionable for Sunday
Thomas (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.The same goes for Gabe Davis (shoulder) -- who was inactive Week 9 -- with Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville relaying Friday that head coach Doug Pederson noted that he was optimistic Davis would be able to play Sunday, while also commending Thomas, who continues to progress, for his "toughness" in fighting through his chest injury last weekend en route to logging a 91 percent snap share in the Jacksonville Jaguars' 28-23 loss to the Eagles. At this stage, it looks like Jacksonville is trending toward having both Thomas and Davis available versus Minnesota, with confirmation of the duo's Week 10 status set to arrive once the team's inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Remains limited Thursday
Thomas (chest) remained limited in practice Thursday.Thomas also was limited Wednesday, so he'll presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Vikings without an injury designation. While playing through his chest issue in a Week 9 loss to the Eagles, Thomas was on the field for 91 percent of the Jacksonville Jaguars' snaps on offense en route to catching two of his four targets for 22 yards. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Thomas heads into the weekend with an injury designation, but assuming his availability, a bounceback could be in store for the 2024 first-rounder versus Minnesota, considering the steady role he maintains in his team's passing attack.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Thomas (chest) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.Thomas played through the chest contusion in the Jacksonville Jaguars' Week 9 loss to the Eagles, but he was held to a career-low 22 receiving yards. If the standout rookie can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Vikings, it could portend a return to his previous level of production. Thomas averaged 71.6 receiving yards per game and caught five touchdown passes over his first eight NFL games.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Quiet game Sunday
Thomas had two receptions (four targets) for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.Thomas saw his production take a hit in Week 9 following a pair of outings with 60-plus yards and a touchdown in each. The 2024 first-round selection has still been a strong fantasy asset with 35 receptions, 595 yards and five touchdowns through nine contests this season. Thomas will look to resume his scoring ways in next Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Active as expected in Week 9
Thomas (chest) is active for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Eagles.The star rookie practiced in a limited fashion all week and was believed to be trending toward active status, which now is official. Thomas will have a chance to enjoy his largest target opportunity share yet, considering Christian Kirk (IR, collarbone) and Gabe Davis (inactive, shoulder) are unavailable and Jacksonville could well have to eventually adopt a pass-heavy approach in a game in which it's a significant road underdog.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Lining up to play Sunday
Thomas (chest) is listed as questionable but expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Barring a setback in pregame warmups, Thomas should be officially cleared to play upon the release of the Jacksonville Jaguars' inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Thomas was one of three Jacksonville receivers to emerge from the Week 8 loss to the Packers with an injury, as he was forced out in the second half with a chest contusion. The rookie was then a limited participant in practice throughout Week 9 prep before head coach Doug Pederson characterized him as a game-time decision for Sunday, but Thomas looks like he'll be ready to lead a depleted Jacksonville receiving corps, which could result in an extra target or two going his way. Christian Kirk is out for the season after fracturing his left collarbone in Week 8, while Gabe Davis exited the loss to Green Bay with a shoulder injury and is listed as questionable for Week 9 but looks like a longshot to play in Philadelphia.

Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Thomas is less than 100 percent healthy and will be a game-time decision, per Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL Radio.
