Jags Beat: Julius Thomas suffered 'minor' groin injury

Oct 27, 2015

The Jaguars haven’t had much luck with injuries this season, but appear to have caught a break Sunday.

Tight end Julius Thomas exited on the game-winning drive and wasn’t in the locker room when it was open to the media following the 34-31 win over Buffalo at London’s Wembley Stadium.

The Jaguars announced Tuesday that Thomas suffered a minor groin injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Thomas has the bye week to heal up before the Jaguars (2-5) travel to face the New York Jets (4-2) next Sunday. It sounds like he'll be OK for this Week 9 contest but we likely won't know a lot more until next week at this time.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
