Jaguars WR Christian Kirk will not practice this week due to a calf injury, HC Doug Pederson said Monday. Kirk missed the final few practices of last week with what Pederson at that point called a "minor" injury. Pederson again expressed optimism today, saying that Kirk is "feeling good."
This doesn't sound like an injury that'll impact Kirk's availability for the start of the regular season. But it bears watching over the next couple of weeks.
WR Parker Washington looks like Jacksonville's backup slot receiver and would step into a significant role if Kirk misses time.
Kirk's absence would also boost TE Evan Engram's fantasy outlook as a short- and mid-range target. Engram exploded for 50 catches, 439 yards, and four TDs with Kirk out over the final six games of last season.
