Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wideout Brian Thomas Jr. was battling with a chest injury ahead of the team's game against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. He was questionable to play that game and was ruled as a game-time decision.
Thomas was eventually able to suit up for that Week 9 game and was on the field for 91% of Jacksonville's offensive snaps. However, he caught just two passes for 22 yards in that loss, which was possibly his poorest showing of the season.
There are questions regarding the 2024 first-round draft pick's availability for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Minnesota Vikings because he was limited in all of the Jaguars' practices during the week.
Exploring Brian Thomas Jr.'s availability status for Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas Jr. is expected to suit up for the team against the Minnesota Vikings today despite being unable to log any full practice participation throughout the week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Thomas has been outstanding in the Jaguars' offense this season. He leads all rookie receivers with 595 yards and five receiving touchdowns, and he is second only to Malik Nabers with 35 catches.
Before the matchup with the Eagles, Thomas had scored a touchdown each in four of five games between Weeks 4 and 8. His availability is good news for the Jaguars, who are expected to be without starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence against the Vikings on Sunday due to a shoulder injury.
How to watch Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Minnesota Vikings on Sunday?
On Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars will welcome the Minnesota Vikings at EverBank Stadium as part of their Week 10 schedule.

The Jaguars, who are now 2-7 and almost out of the running for the playoffs, have dropped consecutive games to the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles.
With a recent victory over the Indianapolis Colts and a 6-2 record overall, the Vikings have exceeded the expectations of the majority of fans this season and are still a formidable competitor in the NFC North.
