The Jacksonville Jaguars finally decided to show some grit and the game against the Packers was proof enough. Unfortunately, the 27-30 loss to Jordan Love and Co. wasn’t the only thing they had to worry about in the game. Shad Khan was proud of putting together the best players on the roster together, only to watch one of them go down.
The game ended on a horrid note as the Jaguars WR Christian Kirk injured himself. There may be a scenario that he might be ruled out for the season. Adam Schefter provided more updates on Kirk’s injury.
Schefter reported that Christian Kirk broke his collarbone. The thing is, some teams might have been interested in him. Now, Kirk might not be on the trade list and the deadline for trade is approaching quickly (Nov 5).

Schefter’s post on X said, “Last week, Christian Kirk had drawn trade interest; now he is lost for the season with a broken collarbone.” Kirk had an insane “yikes” moment when Trevor Lawrence threw him a deep ball and while trying to make a catch, the receiver landed on his shoulder.
To make matters worse, Edgerrin Cooper landed on the receiver and it might have exacerbated his injury. He was X-rayed and more details about his injury will be revealed in due time. The receiver had two receptions over 59 yards and didn’t score a touchdown.
What’s your perspective on:
Can the Jaguars recover from losing Christian Kirk, or is their season already doomed?
Have an interesting take?
The veteran receiver’s performance has dipped ever since he joined the Jaguars. Before the game, Adam Schefter suspected that should the Jacksonville team lose the game, they would be interested in trading him. But that possibility seems like a far-fetched reality now.
Fans obviously, are upset at how the Jacksonville Jaguars are doing this year. And this injury just added more to their woes.

A Jacksonville fan mourned the loss of his favorite receiver and prayed for his speedy recovery on Schefter’s post as he commented, “Kirk is still one of my favorite WRs in the NFL. I hope that he makes a safe recovery.”
