Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers working through injury, Coen provides update
Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers is working through an injury and Liam Coen provided a brief update.
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was seen on the sideline of Friday night's preseason game wearing a brace on his right hand, according to Juston Lewis of the Florida Times-Union. Later, head coach Liam Coen revealed that Meyers had jammed his hand. During Wednesday's joint practice, Meyers did not participate in the final drive.
Coen stated that he did jam his hand, but did not specify whether Meyers would miss any further practice sessions this week. It remains to be seen if Meyers will take part in next week's joint practice with Tampa Bay. Coen mentioned that they will assess the situation and avoid overexertion. The addition of Meyers to the Jaguars' team during the trade deadline proved crucial to the offensive success in the second half of the season.
Meyers was a dependable receiver, excelling in intermediate routes and over-the-middle plays, benefiting his own performance and creating opportunities for others in the offense.
Should the need arise, the Jaguars may rely on backup receivers CJ Williams and Josh Cameron to take on more significant roles.
