Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. had a brutal Week 2, catching 4 of 12 targets for 49 yards. He was charged with one drop but had a couple other catchable balls that he alligator-armed. HC Liam Coen blamed it on a wrist injury in his Monday press conference, despite Thomas Jr. not being listed on the Week 2 injury report.
Coen on Thomas Jr.'s wrist injury: “I think it was during the— I don’t know when he did it. But it was something that’s just been nagging, you know, just been kind of a little nag, you know. I don’t think it’s anything that huge. It’s a thing that he’s kinda been working through.”
This one smells fishy.
Thomas Jr. is off to a horrible start this season, with 5 catches on 19 targets for 60 scoreless yards through two games. There were reports of him being frustrated -- presumably by QB Trevor Lawrence -- in training camp. And it seems like those issues have bled into the start of the season.
We'll look for more on this alleged wrist injury. Assuming it's not a major concern, we'd label Thomas Jr. a hold-bordering-on-buy right now.
His lack of chemistry with Lawrence is worrisome. But the volume has been awesome: Thomas Jr. has drawn 26% of Jaguars targets through two games. He's simply too talented to remain this inefficient going forward.
