Ventrell Miller - Still seeing significant role Miller recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-27 loss versus the Packers.

He actually got more snaps than Devin Lloyd (37), which is the first time that's happened this season in a game both players were active for. The Jaguars will travel to face a run-heavy Philadelphia team in Week 9.

Foyesade Oluokun - Jags' leading tackler in loss Oluokun recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 30-27 loss versus the Packers.
Impact Oluokun returned from a four-game absence in Week 8, and he led Jacksonville's linebackers in snaps (62) by a wide margin. Although his performance Sunday wasn't enough to get his team the win, it was a reminder of why he's been a regular IDP fixture over the past few seasons and why he'll remain one in Week 9 at Philadelphia.

Ezra Cleveland - Dealing with minor injury Cleveland is considered day-to-day after suffering an ankle injury in Sunday's loss to Green Bay, Garry Smits of Jacksonville.com reports.
Impact Cleveland was unable to finish the game after suffering the injury in the second half. Greater clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Eagles should come when the team releases its first injury report Wednesday.

Brian Thomas Jr. - Called day-to-day by coach Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Thomas (chest) is day-to-day after an MRI diagnosed his injury as a contusion, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Thomas was initially reported to be in danger of missing 2-to-4 weeks by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, but MRI results have now revealed that the rookie first-round pick has avoided a more severe injury. That's one piece of crucial good news for Jacksonville's receiver corps, after Christian Kick (collarbone) was diagnosed with a season-ending fracture and No. 3 wideout Gabe Davis (shoulder) was also forced out of Sunday's loss to the Packers early. Pederson said Thomas may have a chance to suit up Week 9 against the Eagles. More information on Thomas' health will arrive when the Jaguars take the practice field Wednesday, in preparation for Week 9 action.

Brian Thomas Jr. - Could miss 2-to-4 weeks Thomas (chest) is in danger of missing 2-to-4 weeks due to a chest injury sustained during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Thomas is slated for further scans Monday, which will reveal the full severity of his injury, but it looks like the standout rookie is trending toward sitting out at least Week 9 against the Eagles, as well as Week 11 against the Vikings. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the season due to a fracture sustained Sunday and Gabe Davis (shoulder) also have logged an early exit versus the Packers, Thomas' injury comes at a particular brutal time for Jacksonville's pass-catching corps. Parker Washington and Tim Jones are the only healthy wide receivers on the Jaguars' active roster, leaving tight end Evan Engram in probable position to operate as Trevor Lawrence's top target.

Brian Thomas Jr. - Headed for MRI Thomas (chest) will undergo an MRI on his ribs Monday as the Jaguars look to determine his status for their Week 9 game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The standout rookie recorded three catches for 60 yards and a touchdown on four targets over 29 snaps in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers before being forced out of the game in the second half with what the Jaguars termed as a chest injury. Thomas looks like he'll now get checked for a potential rib fracture Monday before the team forecasts his availability for next Sunday's contest in Philadelphia. The 22-year-old was one of three Jaguars receivers to suffer injuries in the contest, as Christian Kirk (collarbone) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) also made early exits.

Christian Kirk - Out for year with collarbone injury Kirk fractured his collarbone in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers and will miss the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Kirk had his arm in a sling after the game following an exit due to what was originally termed a shoulder injury. He will finish the 2024 season with 27 catches for 379 yards and one touchdown on 47 targets in eight games. More opportunities will likely open up for Parker Washington in a Jacksonville wide receiver room that also saw Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) exit against the Packers.

Brenton Strange - Cashes in all five targets Sunday Strange corralled all five of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers.
Impact Strange finished with the most receptions for the Jaguars on Sunday, but it was fellow tight end Evan Engram who produced the better fantasy line (4-36-1). Strange has provided low-end fantasy value as a sophomore and should be treated as such heading into next Sunday's road tilt against the Eagles.

Evan Engram - Catches first TD of 2024 Engram caught four of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers.
Impact Engram cashed in his first touchdown of the season in the second half of a narrow loss to Green Bay. The athletic tight end had participated in just three games prior to Sunday's score, marking a good time for fantasy managers in need of a tight end to pick up the veteran. Engram carries value into a Week 9 matchup against the Eagles next Sunday.

Christian Kirk - Arm in sling after game Kirk's left arm was in a sling after Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Impact After exiting with a shoulder injury, the wideout was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest, and given DiRocco's report, Kirk's status for next weekend's game against the Eagles is cloudy. Fellow WRs Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) also were injured versus Green Bay, with the trio's status now worth tracking closely in the coming days.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Tank Bigsby - Gains 86 yards on 20 touches Bigsby rushed 18 times for 78 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Green Bay.
Impact Bigsby served as the Jaguars' top back after Travis Etienne (hamstring) was deemed inactive prior to Sunday's kickoff. The 23-year-old Bigsby churned out a decent fantasy performance off of 20 touches, which bodes well for his already rising value heading into Week 9. Bigsby should remains a part of Jacksonville's offense heading into next Sunday's tilt against Philadelphia.
