The Jacksonville Jaguars have a pivotal game today against the Tennessee Titans. With the Pittsburgh Steelers winning yesterday, the Jaguars face elimination from playoff contention if they lose this game. With that in mind, Jacksonville received both good and before their final game of the regular season.
Trevor Lawrence Is Active, Christian Kirk Is Out
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is going to play in today’s game. While it is great for the Jaguars to have their starting quarterback, it is not all sunshine and rainbows for Jacksonville. Unfortunately, despite getting taken off of the Injured Reserve list yesterday, WR Christian Kirk is out for today’s game.
Jacksonville Jaguars Moving Forward
The Jaguars simply must win this game against the Titans today. Failure to do so will result in elimination from playoff contention. Now, they have at least one reinforcement to improve their odds there.
However, not having Kirk available is still a blow to this team. The Jaguars are just 1-4 without Kirk playing in a full game this season. Plus, Jacksonville’s offense went from ninth in points per game to 28th since his absence. Now, they will have to find a way to put up points when it matters most.
