Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark has been ruled out for Thursday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins.

Keelan Cole and Chris Conley should step up as Gardner Minshew’s top two receivers tonight but expect impressive rookie Laviska Shenault Jr. to see an expanded role as well. Shenault has hovered between 57-62% of the snaps, and saw eight touches last week, with five of them coming via the running game. He has played ahead of Conley, but Conley may be asked to step into the Chark role due to his familiarity with the offense. Shenault is our 33rd ranked receiver for Week 3.

According to Tom Pelissero on Twitter, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark is 'trending upwards' towards being able to play tonight against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football.

Chark being active would be a big boost for a Jaguars offense that already got some good news in the form of Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones being ruled out. Pelissero added that a final decision would be made closer to game-time regarding his status. Chark leads the Jaguars in receiving yards and is our 18th ranked receiver for Week 3.

The Jaguars list receiver D.J. Chark as limited.

He had four catches for 84 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Titans, playing 59 of 75 offensive snaps. The Jaguars had to release an estimated practice report since they play Thursday. They didn’t practice. It's something to keep an eye on during a short week.

Jaguars coach Doug Marrone says WR DJ Chark (ankle) was cleared to get on the field.

The tweet said Chark was expected to do some running and cutting on Monday. Marrone is waiting on a report from trainers on how Chark did but Marrone called it great news for Chark’s chance to play Sunday.
