Jacksonville Jaguars injury report for Week 9 feat. latest updates on Christian Kirk, Travis Etienne Jr., Brian Thomas Jr. and more

The Jacksonville Jaguars' season hasn't gone according to plan. They are 2-6 and appear unlikely to make a playoff push. They are third in the AFC South and will need a major resurgence in the second half of the season if they want to salvage their campaign.

Their first step towards that goal is a Week 9 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Let's take a look at the Jaguars' injury report ahead of the pivotal showdown.

Jacksonville Jaguars injury report

Here's a look at the Jacksonville Jaguars injury report:

Christian Kirk's injury update

Starting wide receiver Christian Kirk hasn't participated yet in training this week. He is dealing with a collarbone injury he sustained in the Week 8 game against the Green Bay Packers.

Kirk left in the fourth quarter and recorded a stat line of two catches and 59 receiving yards. He'll need to participate in some capacity on Friday to ensure his availability for the game against the Eagles.

Travis Etienne Jr.'s injury update

According to The Score, Travis Etienne Jr. is trending towards playing in Week 8. The dynamic running back has been dealing with a hamstring injury and has missed the Jaguars' past two games.

Etienne also dealt with a shoulder injury during the same timeframe, further complicating his return timeline. He was a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday, so there's a chance he'll play on Sunday.

Brian Thomas Jr.'s injury update

According to the Sporting News, Brian Thomas Jr. is progressing well after suffering a chest injury in Week 8. The injury was initially thought to be a week-to-week issue but has since been downgraded to day-to-day.

Thomas participated in only two practices this week. He'll look to log another session on Friday to clear any doubts about his fitness ahead of the clash against the NFC powerhouse.

Tank Bigsby's injury update

According to CBS Sports, Tank Bigsby was a limited participant in Thursday's training session. The versatile running back is dealing with an ankle injury.

Bigsby has been a revelation for the Jacksonville Jaguars, especially with Travis Etienne Jr.'s injuries this season. Jaguars fans will hope that both their injuries aren't serious to keep them out of such an important game in Week 9.
