Brian Thomas Inactive for Second Straight Game with Ankle Injury; Week 12 Return Expected

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's Week 11 game against the Chargers, marking his second consecutive game missed. Thomas, who was listed as questionable, managed to participate in three limited practices this week, leading to a tentative expectation for his return in Week 12. The 2024 draftee signed a four-year, $14.66 million contract with the Jaguars in June 2024. His continued absence elevates WR Parker Washington as Jacksonville's primary target option and a potential WR3 for fantasy managers. Upon his eventual return, Thomas will be without Travis Hunter, who is out for the remainder of his rookie campaign due to a knee injury, but will play alongside recent trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers for the first time.
