The Las Vegas Raiders have been dealing with some drama of their own with their top wide receiver as Jakobi Meyers has publicly stated he desires to be traded by Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline and he has been subject
to many rumors for several weeks.
The Raiders aren’t alone with some issues with a top receiver. Their Week 9 opponent Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars, have also had a rocky start of the season with a wide receiver.
Jacksonville wide receiver Brian Thomas, who had a terrific rookie season, has struggled at times this season. He has five dropped passes and hasn’t been as consistent as he was last year.
Jacksonville coach Liam Coen shot down reports that Thomas could be traded soon. Still, it is not known how much he will play Sunday again. He hurt his shoulder in Week 7 (the Jaguars were on a bye like the Raiders in Week 8) and has been limited in practice this week, so the Jaguars’ issues with their top receiver may continue this week.
