Jaguars Rising Star WR Sidelined With Undisclosed Injury
One of the Jacksonville Jaguars talented wide receivers could be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
The Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver depth chart has taken a significant hit as star player Parker Washington is currently sidelined with an undisclosed injury, according to The Florida Times-Union's Ryan O Halloran. The 24-year-old Washington is currently listed as day-to-day and is expected to miss at least the remainder of the week.
Washington's recent breakout season saw him amass 58 catches for 847 yards and five touchdowns last year. He has been one of the standout performers during Jacksonville's training camp, and his absence is certainly a concern for the team as they prepare for their second preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Aug. 21. Coach Liam Coen has stated that the team intends to play their starters for a few drives, highlighting the importance of Washington's role in the offense.
As Washington recuperates, the Jaguars will have to rely on other wide receivers like Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Travis Hunter, Josh Cameron, and CJ Williams. A sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Washington has contributed 106 catches for 1,369 yards and 10 touchdowns in his professional career thus far.
