The Jacksonville Jaguars incurred injuries to all three starting wide receivers in their last-second loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Christian Kirk is done for the season with a broken collarbone and rookie Brian Thomas Jr. will undergo an MRI on his ribs, multiple outlets reported. Gabe Davis left in the second quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return.

Kirk was injured early in the fourth quarter of the 30-27 loss to the Packers. He landed on his left shoulder after laying out to catch a deep pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He was quickly ruled out of the game and was in a sling afterward.

Kirk, 27, had two catches for 59 yards prior to the injury. He has 27 catches for 379 yards and a touchdown in eight games (seven starts) this season. He's in the third year of a four-year deal worth $72 million. This is his second straight year with a season-ending injury; he missed the final five games in 2023 with a groin injury.

Thomas, 22, had three catches for 60 yards and a score in Sunday's game. The 2024 first-round pick has 33 catches for 573 yards and five TDs on the season.

Davis, 25, has 18 catches for 217 yards and two TDs. He signed a three-year deal worth $39 million in March.

Backup wideouts Tim Jones and Parker Washington both saw action Sunday. Washington hauled in three catches for 46 yards on four targets. Jones had one catch for 20 yards.
