Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. ‘fine’ after injury scare

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is “fine” after he absorbed a hard fall during practice at minicamp, head coach Liam Coen said Wednesday.
Thomas appeared to injure his shoulder following a collision with cornerback Tyson Campbell during team drills. Thomas exited the field with trainers before returning to the sideline, however he did not go back into practice.
“He’s fine. He absolutely could’ve gone back and played — just bruised it a little bit,” Coen said. “Said he had great range of motion, strength. He’s all good. No issues, just precautionary.
“(If) he didn’t come back out, he’d be really hurt. He was completely cleared to play.”
Thomas, 22, recorded 87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 games (16 starts) in his rookie season last year. He was selected by the Jaguars with the 23rd overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.
