Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images An ankle injury will keep No. 1 wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. out of the Jacksonville Jaguars' lineup Sunday for a divisional matchup at the Houston Texans.
Thomas, 23, leads the Jaguars (5-3) with 30 catches and 420 yards and has one touchdown through eight games.
Thomas was the 23rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU. He finished fourth in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting last season after amassing 87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns.
With Travis Hunter on injured reserve with a knee injury, Jacksonville will be down its top two receivers against Houston (3-5), which boasts one of the league's toughest pass defenses.
Fellow receiver Dyami Brown remains in concussion protocol, though the Jaguars acquired Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday.
If Brown is not cleared, Meyers, Parker Washington and Tim Patrick would likely serve as the team's top receivers.
The Jaguars will likely be without left guard Ezra Cleveland (knee/ankle), tight end Hunter Long (hip/knee) and cornerback Jourdan Lewis (neck), who have not practiced this week.
