What happened Christian Kirk? Live injury updates for NFL Week 8

Updated:

By: Dan Johnson

UPDATE 9:14 p.m. ET: Christian Kirk broke his collarbone and is done for the season, per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports.


UPDATE: Christian Kirk also left the game with an apparent arm injury and was quickly ruled out for the game.

Kirk had tallied a pair of receptions for 59 yards before the injury. He came down hard on his shoulder with his full body weight after logging his second catch and was in immediate pain.

We will provide updates as they are provided but this is another brutal hit to an already depleted wide receiver group


As the Jaguars were driving down the field, hoping to score their first points against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, the team announced that wideout Gabe Davis is questionable to return with a shoulder injury.

We’ll provide more updates on Davis’s availability as the team releases them. In the meanwhile, expect Evan Engram and Christian Kirk to see a potential uptick in volume while Davis is sidelined.

Davis signed with the Jaguars in the offseason, and the team hoped he’d fill the void now-Titan Calvin Ridley had left in the vertical passing game. Davis, however, has largely been a disappointment. Other than the Week 6 London game against the Bears, in which Gabe Davis had five receptions for 45 yards and two touchdowns, he’s eclipsed neither three receptions nor 70 receiving yards.
