TYLER EIFERT NEWS

Questionable for Sunday Eifert (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Impact The 30-year-old was unable to practice the first two days of the week, but he apparently showed enough at Friday's session to earn the questionable tag. Eifert suffered a stinger during Week 5, and his status for Sunday's contest remains in question. James O'Shaughnessy is poised to operate as Jacksonville's top tight end should Eifert be unable to play Week 6.

Sits out practice Eifert (neck) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact With back-to-back absences from practice to begin Week 6 while he tends to a neck stinger, Eifert's availability for Sunday's game against the Lions looks to be firmly in question. The Jaguars will see what Eifert's able to do during their final session of the week Friday before determining whether he'll enter the contest with an injury designation.

Idle for first Week 6 practice Eifert (neck) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Eifert has often received Wednesday practices off this season for maintenance-related reasons, but he'll be absent for the Jaguars' first session of Week 6 due to a legitimate injury. The tight end sustained a neck stinger during Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Texans and is presumably still in recovery mode, though the Jaguars are optimistic the issue won't force Eifert to miss time. Eifert would still ideally advance to full participation in practice by Friday to guarantee his availability for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Nursing minor stinger Eifert (neck) suffered a stinger during Sunday's loss to the Texans but is not expected to miss time, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Eifert has a good chance to show up on Jacksonville's injury report this week, per Pelissero, but he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's upcoming contest against the Lions. In the event that Eifert were to suffer any setbacks, however, James O'Shaughnessy would stand to step up as the Jaguars' top tight end.

Leaves with neck injury Eifert was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Texans with a neck injury, Tad Dickman of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Impact Eifert snagged three passes for 16 yards before leaving the game. James O'Shaughnessy will operate as the No. 1 tight end while Eifert is on the sidelines, and rookie Tyler Davis could rotate in as well.

Healthy to begin Week 5 Eifert (head) isn't listed with an injury designation on the Jaguars' initial Week 5 report that was released Wednesday.

Impact Eifert was tested for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Bengals, but it looks as though he's escaped without any sort of head injury. The veteran tight end is sitting out Wednesday's practice in what amounts to a scheduled rest day.

Impact Prior to his exit from Sunday's game, Eifert hauled in two of his five targets for 22 yards. James O'Shaughnessy is next up for the Jaguars' tight end looks in Eifert's absence.

Minor involvement Thursday Eifert caught two of three targets for 11 yards during Thursday's 31-13 loss to Miami.

Impact Eifert led the team's tight ends with 40 offensive snaps and didn't find much involvement in the passing game despite the fact Jacksonville mostly played from behind Thursday. James O'Shaughnessy officially received the start but played only 27 offensive snaps, though he caught three of four targets for 29 yards. Eifert remains the Jaguars' top tight end, but his six catches for 55 yards and one touchdown through three games illustrates the difficulty in utilizing him as a fantasy option.

Reaches end zone in loss Eifert caught three of six targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Titans.

Impact The Jaguars didn't have any standout performances from pass catchers Sunday as QB Gardner Minshew spread the love and completed at least three passes to eight different receivers. Eifert was targeted only once in the season opener but was much more involved Week 2, as was fellow tight end James O'Shaughnessy (four catches for 40 yards). Neither player is a primary option in the passing game and both are unlikely to provide much week-to-week consistency.

Catches one pass in opener Eifert secured his only target for eight yards during Sunday's win over the Colts.

Impact The 30-year-old received the start Week 1, but he played only 28 of 50 offensive snaps in his Jacksonville debut. Eifert saw more playing time that fellow tight ends James O'Shaughnessy (20 snaps) and Ben Ellefson (13), but the position group was largely uninvolved against the Colts. Eifert is the favorite to see the bulk of the snaps in Week 2, but that doesn't mean he should be on the fantasy radar for most leagues.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning in secondary role Eifert is listed as the No. 2 tight end on the Jaguars' first unofficial depth chart of the season, John Reid of the Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact The 29-year-old was expected to open the season as the starter, but James O'Shaughnessy apparently had a better showing in camp and earned the job. Eifert appeared in all 16 games and caught 43 of 63 targets for 436 yards and three touchdowns in 2019 with the Bengals, but he's unlikely to replicate those numbers in 2020 without moving up the depth chart.
