Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Returns After Minor Shoulder Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. suffered a shoulder injury during a minicamp practice collision but was quickly cleared as having only a minor bruise and was able to return to the sideline. Head coach Liam Coen confirmed Thomas was fully capable of continuing practice but was held out as a precaution. Thomas aims to build on an impressive rookie season in which he caught 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Jaguars enter the 2025 training camp with a new coaching staff led by Coen and a revamped wide receiver group featuring rookies Travis Hunter and Dyami Brown. Hunter, highly anticipated by fans, may see increased opportunities if Thomas faces any limitations during camp. Overall, the team is cautious but optimistic regarding Thomas's health heading into the upcoming season.
