Christian Kirk (core muscle) to 'miss some time' for Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk will "miss some time" with the core muscle injury he suffered in Monday night's Week 13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
What It Means:
Kirk suffered the injury on the Jaguars' first play from scrimmage. Parker Washington will likely run most of Kirk's routes in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. He caught 6 passes on 6 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown on Monday night while registering a 59 percent offensive snap share.
Kirk is averaging 7.6 targets in 11 healthy games this season. The Browns have the second-best pass defense and second-best overall defense in the league this season, according to numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings. They also allow the third-fewest FanDuel points per game to opposing wide receivers.
