Need for speed: Jaguars lack deep threats after losing Chark
Urban Meyer has one of the NFL’s slowest teamsNOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Officially out for the season Coach Urban Meyer confirmed Monday that Chark (ankle) is out for the season, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Impact Meyer took his time confirming the length of Chark's recovery timetable, as the wideout was placed on IR due to a fractured left ankle back on Oct. 4, but the season-ending nature of his injury can now be considered official. As Meyer noted Monday, Jamal Agnew has impressed over the last two weeks after stepping into a larger role on offense, but Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault remain the clear top two wideouts on Jacksonville's depth chart.

Officially placed on IR Chark (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Impact Chark's placement on IR was expected because the receiver is expected to miss the remainder of the 2021 campaign due to a fractured left ankle that he sustained in Thursday's loss to the Bengals. Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault will serve as the Jaguars' top receivers going forward, while Tavon Austin, Tyron Johnson and Jamal Agnew are likely to compete for additional work.

Heading to IR Chark (ankle) will be placed on IR on Monday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Impact Players on IR are technically eligible to return after missing as few as three games, but the fractured left ankle Chark suffered during last Thursday's loss to the Bengals is expected to sideline him for the rest of the 2021 season. Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault will operate as Jacksonville's clear top wideouts going forward, while Tavon Austin, Jamal Agnew and Tyron Johnson are all candidates to see increased targets.

Likely out for season Chark, who is expected to miss the rest of the season after sustaining a fractured left ankle during Thursday's loss to the Bengals, is likely to require surgery to repair the inju...
Impact The 25-year-old was carted off the field after suffering the injury Thursday, and it's not a major surprise to find out his 2021 campaign is likely over. Chark should be moved to injured reserve in the near future, and the team should update his status shortly as he continues to be evaluated. The 2018 second-round pick is in the final year of his rookie contract, and is now set to enter free agency coming off a broken ankle while totaling seven catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns in four games this season.

Thursday Night Football top moments: Bengals rally as Jags lose 19th straight
Joe Burrow and the Bengals rallied to hand the Jaguars their 19th straight defeat. Here are the top moments!OCTOBER 1, 2021
Suffers broken ankle Chark suffered a fractured ankle during Thursay's matchup against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Chark is out indefinitely. This is a significant injury for the Jaguars, who have struggled to an 0-3 start before Thursday's game. Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault should be considered the main beneficiaries of Chark's absence, while Tyron Johnson and Tavon Austin can replace some of the speed that Chark offers.
OCTOBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Carted off Thursday Chark exited Thursday's game against the Bengals with a left leg injury, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Right tackle Jawaan Taylor fell onto Chark's left leg while blocking for a James Robinson carry during the first drive of the game. Chark couldn't put any weight on his left leg as he went to the cart. The Jaguars should provide more details on the nature and severity of Chark's injury during the postgame presser at the latest. Tyron Johnson and Tavon Austin could work as a deep threat in Chark's place, though Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault should lead the target share.

NFL infamy in sight: Jaguars 9 losses shy of dubious mark
NFL infamy is in sight for the Jacksonville JaguarsSEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Held to one catch Sunday Chark caught one of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Broncos.
Impact Marvin Jones had a 25-yard touchdown reception to finish Jacksonville's opening possession, but QB Trevor Lawrence and the rest of the offense failed to get anything going the rest of the afternoon. Chark had only three catches Week 1 but was still targeted 12 times, and he wasn't nearly as involved in the offense this week. Outside of a 41-yard touchdown catch Week 1, the 24-year-old wideout has failed to establish a consistent connection with the rookie signal-caller through the first two games of 2021.
