Leaves game with knee injury Westbrook (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jaguars PR Director Tad DIckman reports.

Remains inactive Week 2 Westbrook is listed as inactive Sunday against Tennessee.

Impact This is the second consecutive week Westbrook will serve as a healthy scratch, as an offseason shoulder injury led him to miss a large portion of training camp, and he appears to be continuing to work his way back. Even when ready, Westbrook will face hefty competition in a wide receiver group currently led by DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault.

Impact Westbrook spent a significant amount of training camp sidelined due to a bruised shoulder, and it looks as though his inactive status Week 1 simply came due to not having had enough time to acclimate to new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden's scheme. The fourth-year pro should handle a role on offense once he's fully up to speed, but he may not end up with much fantasy relevance while competing with Keelan Cole and Chris Conley for targets behind DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault.

Healthy inactive Week 1 Westbrook (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Listed as the No. 5 receiver on Jacksonville's unofficial depth chart, Westbrook already looked headed for a smaller role in 2020, but his inactive status for the season opener comes as something of a surprise. Rather than having Westbrook suit up as a depth option at receiver, rookie Collin Johnson will dress as Jacksonville's fifth wideout, with the coaching staff perhaps viewing the fifth-round pick out of Texas as someone who can make more of an impact on special teams.

Ready for Week 1 Westbrook (shoulder) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Westbrook has spent the last two weeks as a limited practice participant due to a shoulder injury, but he now looks back to full health. Rookie second-round pick Laviska Shenault (undisclosed) is also off the injury report, however, which muddles Westbrook's path to targets against the Colts on Sunday. He's listed behind DJ Chark, Shenault, Chris Conley and Keelan Cole on Jacksonville's first unofficial depth chart.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as No. 5 WR Westbrook (shoulder) was listed as the No. 5 wide receiver on the Jaguars' unofficial depth chart Monday.

Impact Westbrook hasn't practiced at full speed in more than two weeks, so that may play a factor in the demotion. However, rookie Laviska Shenault (undisclosed) has been banged up, too, and he is listed higher than Westbrook. It's still just an unofficial depth chart, but it's clear Westbrook doesn't have the guaranteed role on this offense that DJ Chark and Chris Conley, who are both listed starters, have secured in training camp.

Returns to limited practice Westbrook (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

Impact After missing a week and a half of practice, Westbrook now appears on track to be ready for Week 1 against the Colts. He may still need a full practice before he's cleared to play, but he'll have some time to make that happen over the next 10 days. Westbrook's role is perhaps the biggest concern, as the Jaguars appear to have quite a crowd at wide receiver. There's even been some speculation that Westbrook, Chris Conley or Keelan Cole could be shopped for a trade.

Not practicing Saturday Westbrook will not practice Saturday due to a shoulder injury, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Westbrook missed only one game last season despite showing up on the injury report with shoulder/neck issues since mid-October. While the reported training camp injury isn't deemed serious, it's a troublesome issue nevertheless, considering Westbrook's nearly season-long battle with shoulder issues in 2019.

Shows chemistry with Minshew Westbrook connected with Gardner Minshew multiple times during Thursday's practice, John Oehser of Jaguars.com reports.

Impact Westbrook handled 73 percent snap share last season and finished second on the team with 101 targets, but he was limited to a 66-660-3 receiving line in 15 games, failing to live up to preseason breakout hype. It was DJ Chark who had a big season instead, locking himself in as the Jags' No. 1 receiver for the foreseeable future. Westbrook still figures to get slot snaps early this season, but he could be facing a challenge from rookie second-round pick Laviska Shenault. And with Chris Conley and Keelan Cole also on their roster, the Jags might consider rotating three or four receivers behind Chark.

Expected to handle varied role Coach Doug Marrone said following the 2020 NFL Draft that he expects Shenault to fill a variety of roles for the Jaguars as a rookie, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. "You can...

Impact As Marrone acknowledges, a multi-faceted role wouldn't be anything new for Shenault, who lined up out wide, in the slot, at tight end and in the backfield during his three-year career at Colorado. The Jaguars' depth chart at receiver is somewhat unsettled beyond top option DJ Chark, so Shenault could parlay a solid showing in training camp and the preseason into a regular spot in three-receiver formations. Even if all of Chark, Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley enter the season ahead of him in the pecking order, Shenault's versatility could allow him to find reps in the backfield, as Jacksonville lacks an experienced change-of-pace option behind Leonard Fournette beyond the historically injury prone Chris Thompson. As a junior at Colorado in 2019, Shenault did most of his damage as a pass catcher (56 receptions for 764 yards and four touchdowns), though he was effective as a ball carrier (23 totes for 161 yards and two touchdowns) when his number was called.
