Limited in practice to begin week Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said Chark (chest) would be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.
Impact Jacksonville isn't quite ready to turn Chark loose after he was sidelined for the team's Week 3 loss to the Dolphins, but the wideout looks to be in good place health-wise after passing all medical tests on his chest injury Monday. Assuming Chark is able to advance to full activity by Thursday or Friday, fantasy managers should expect him to be available for Sunday's game in Cincinnati.

Getting more tests Chark (chest/back) is still undergoing testing Monday morning, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Impact Coach Doug Marrone sounded optimistic Friday, but it's at least a little concerning that Chark needs more tests to evaluate his injuries. He was held out of Thursday's 31-13 loss to the Dolphins, and fantasy managers should consider him questionable to return for Week 4 at Cincinnati.

Impact Operating on a short week before Thursday's eventual loss to the Dolphins, Jacksonville opted to keep Chark sidelined after he followed a LP/LP/DNP practice regimen due to back and chest injuries. Marrone's optimism regarding Chark's health is a good enough sign that he'll be available again in the near future, but fantasy managers will want to continue keeping close tabs on his status. In Chark's place Thursday, the Jaguars used a top WR trio of Chris Conley, Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole, with Collin Johnson and Dede Westbrook occasionally filling in.

Jaguars rule out Chark for Thursday night game vs Dolphins
Jacksonville Jaguars receiver DJ Chark won’t play Thursday night against MiamiSEPTEMBER 24, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ruled out Thursday The Jaguars downgraded Chark (chest) to out for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
Impact Chark initially took a questionable designation into the Week 3 matchup, despite failing to practice Wednesday after being listed as a limited participant on the injury reports Jacksonville released Monday and Tuesday. The Jaguars had some optimism earlier Thursday that Chark might be able to play through the injury on a short week, but he'll ultimately be forced to the sidelines for the first time in 2020. With their top wideout not suiting up, the Jaguars will likely lean on Keelan Cole, Laviska Shenault and Chris Conley as their primary options in three-receiver sets. Dede Westbrook, who has been inactive for the Jaguars' first two games, should also dress for the first time this season, and he could play a role in the passing game.

Trending upward for Thursday Chark (chest) is moving in the right direction in advance of Thursday night's matchup against the Dolphins, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Chark enters this week with a "questionable" tag after logging limited practice sessions Monday and Tuesday before sitting out Wednesday completely. It seems like this is something that can be chalked up to the Jaguars taking a cautious approach, but nonetheless, Chark's status will be worth checking up on prior to the team's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, when the final decision on his status will be made. Should Chark end up suiting up for his regular role, the matchup against Miami would be a favorable one. Through two games, the Dolphins have allowed the third-most standard fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, which includes a combined 30 catches for 454 yards and three touchdowns.

Impact Chark's lack of activity Wednesday is worth noting because the Jaguars listed him as limited both Monday and Tuesday. However, when asked about the wideout's Week 3 status, coach Doug Marrone said, "I just think we're being careful." Confirmation of Chark's Week 3 status will arrive when the Jaguars release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable Chark (chest/back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Impact Chark has been participating in practice on a limited basis this week, but the prevailing thought is that he'll be available Week 3. Either way, confirmation of the wideout's status will arrive upon the release of the Jaguars' inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Reps capped in practice Chark (chest) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Impact Though Chark's showed up as a limited participant on the practice report for the second day in a row, the Jaguars haven't yet indicated that he's at any serious risk of missing Thursday's game against the Dolphins. Chark has been highly efficient as a receiver through Jacksonville's first two contests, corralling all seven of his targets for 109 yards and a touchdown.

Dealing with chest injury Chark is listed as a limited participant on Monday's injury report, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Impact Monday's injury report is only an estimation, so Chark's 'limited' designation can be taken with a grain of salt, but it's nonetheless an indication that the third-year pro is managing a chest injury. He appears to have picked up the issue during Sunday's loss to the Titans, in which he had four catches for 84 yards. Chark will have two more opportunities to resume practicing in full before Thursday's game against the Dolphins, when he may face a cornerback group lacking Byron Jones (groin/Achilles).

Leads team with 84 receiving yards Chark caught all four of his targets for 84 yards during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Titans.
Impact The 2018 second-round pick led Jacksonville in receiving yards, but his four targets ranked tied-fourth among the team's pass catchers. Chark is off to somewhat of a slow start with seven catches for 109 yards and one touchdown through two games after totaling 1,008 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in a breakout 2019 campaign,

Finds end zone to salvage day Chark caught all three of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Colts.
Impact Chark saw surprisingly limited volume with both Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole out-targeting him. That was partially the product of a surprisingly positive game script for the Jaguars, as Gardner Minshew attempted only 20 passes. Despite that disappointment, Chark still delivered a touchdown on a six-yard reception. Jacksonville could be in line for another slow paced contest in Week 2 as they match up against Tennessee, making it possible that Chark's ceiling will be kept in check once again.
