Brenton Strange Designated to Return from IR, Practicing for Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has been designated to return from injured reserve and will practice this week, making him eligible to play against the Chargers on Sunday. Strange has been sidelined since Week 5 with a hip injury. In his first four games, he averaged 5.8 targets, 4.8 catches, and 45.5 receiving yards, ranking TE11 in expected PPR points per game and 16th in actual points per game. Notably, these early-season games featured wide receivers Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas. Hunter is now out for the season, while Thomas is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Strange has an opportunity to perform as a top-12 fantasy tight end for the remainder of the season, contingent on his readiness for this weekend's game.
