The rookie tight end converted his long touchdown on a busted coverage, putting the Jaguars up 14-0 in the second quarter.

Jaguars' Nate Boerkircher: Cleared to play vs. Cincinnati
Boerkircher (illness) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Bengals.
Boerkircher was held out of Thursday's practice due to an illness, but he's passed his ailment and will be available to play Sunday. The rookie second-rounder has one catch (on two targets) for nine yards through three regular-season games while serving as the Jaguars' TE2 behind Brenton Strange.

Jaguars' Nate Boerkircher: Misses practice Thursday
Boerkircher (illness) did not practice Thursday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Boerkircher was added to the injury report due to an illness, though barring a setback, he should be good to go for the Week 4 meeting with the Bengals. The 25-year-old logged 89 offensive snaps combined in the first three weeks of the 2026 campaign, second to Brenton Strange (136) at the tight-end position. However, Boerkircher hasn't been productive, catching one pass (two targets) for nine yards during that span.

Jaguars' Nate Boerkircher: Catches first NFL pass Sunday
Boerkircher caught his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 34-10 win versus the Browns.
Boerkircher played 38 of Jacksonville's 57 offensive snaps in his pro debut, good for second most among Jaguars tight ends behind Brenton Strange (39). Boerkircher was billed as more of a blocker than a route runner when he was taken in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and at least in the short term, Strange should be expected to continue to see more targets between the two of them.

Jaguars' Nate Boerkircher: Sidelined for Friday's preseason loss
Boerkircher did not participate in Friday's 34-17 preseason loss to Carolina.

Boerkircher figures to be the favorite to enter the regular season as the Jaguars' TE2 behind Strange, with the former competing against Koziol, Quintin Morris and Hunter Long. The Jaguars wrap up their slate of preseason games this Friday against the Buccaneers.

Jaguars' Nate Boerkircher: Competing for No. 2 TE role
John Shipley of SI.com considers Boerkircher the favorite to secure the Jaguars' No. 2 TE role behind Brenton Strange.
Strange inked a lucrative extension with the team last month and remains Jacksonville's clear-cut No. 1 TE on the heels of a 46-catch effort in 12 regular-season games in 2025. Boerkircher -- whom the Jaguars took 56th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft -- is thus slated to compete with fellow rookie Tanner Koziol, as well as returnees Quintin Morris and Hunter Long for slotting behind Strange ahead of Week 1. After logging a total of 38 career catches through five collegiate seasons, Boerkircher figures to make his initial mark as a pro in the blocking game, with the 24-year-old's long-term fantasy upside hinging on whether he's able to make strides as a pass catcher down the road.
