After briefly exiting Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach Liam Coen fully expects wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. to be available in Week 2 against Denver -- although he may be limited during the week of upcoming practices.
"I fully imagine him being able to play this game," Coen said on Monday. "No issues, just might not be able to get hit throughout the week or something."
Thomas Jr. left the Jaguars' Week 1 win in the first half with a shoulder injury. He was initially questionable to return, but did go back into the game.
Thomas Jr. finished the game with three receptions for 40 yards.
He also sustained a shoulder injury in the Jaguars' first joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Whether or not that
injury and the current one are related has not been reported.
Thomas Jr. put together a strong performance in training camp. His chemistry with Trevor Lawrence had continued to grow, particularly on downfield throws.
