Sits out preseason finale Chark (finger) won't suit up for Sunday's preseason finale against the Cowboys.

Impact The same applies to fellow wideout Marvin Jones (shoulder), though the expectation remains that both players should be available for Week 1 action. Chark is bouncing back from a procedure in early August to repair a hairline fracture of his finger, but as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, look for the 24-year-old to man a starting WR spot in Jacksonville's season-opener, Sept. 12 against the Texans.

Spotted at practice Chark (finger) was on the field with pads at Monday's practice but didn't catch any passes, James Johnson of Jags Wire reports.

Impact The wideout had surgery in early August to repair a hairline fracture of his finger, with coach Urban Meyer saying afterward that Chark should be ready for the regular-season opener. He'll miss the entire preseason and may be limited in practice for a few more weeks, but his presence on the practice field confirms Chark is on track to suit up against the Texans on Sept. 12, likely working as Jacksonville's No. 1 receiver.

Has hairline finger fracture repaired Coach Urban Meyer expects Chark (finger) to play in the Jaguars' season opener against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Schefter's report confirms that the team's No. 1 wideout underwent surgery to address a hairline fracture of his finger, but given the timing of the procedure, Chark's Week 1 availability isn't expected to be impacted. Assuming that's the case, the 2018 second-rounder remains in line to head a 2021 wide receiver corps that also features Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault, with Phillip Dorsett, Collin Johnson and Jamal Agnew also in the mix.

Impact For his part, Mark Long of the Associated Press indicates that Chark is dealing with a finger issue, but either way, it looks like Jacksonville's top wideout will miss some time and his status will now need to be monitored leading up to Week 1.

Battling minor injury Chark is sitting out Friday's practice with an undisclosed minor injury, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

Impact It's unclear when the injury cropped, up, but Chark won't be taking part in Friday's session. Fellow wideout Marvin Jones (personal) is also absent, so Laviska Shenault and Collin Johnson should work as the team's top receivers to finish the week. Chark should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Impact Meyer didn't like what he saw from the 24-year-old when reviewing film from the 2020 season, and the new coach approached the wideout to voice his concerns. It's a pivotal point in Chark's career as he enters a contract year, and he should benefit from more stability at quarterback with rookie first overall pick Trevor Lawrence taking the reins. Chark eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards with eight touchdowns in 2019, but he struggled to find consistency last season with 706 receiving yards and five scores. The addition of Marvin Jones should also help open downfield opportunities for Chark, and the offense as a whole.

Skidding Jags rule out WR Chark for season finale at Colts

The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without receiver DJ Chark for their season finale at Indianapolis on Sunday

JANUARY 1, 2021 • Associated Press

Sitting out season finale Chark (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact The 24-year-old was unable to practice this week due to the shin injury and won't be available for Week 17. It's a disappointing end to a disappointing season for Chark, who finishes with 53 receptions for 706 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games after breaking out with a 1,000-yard campaign in 2019. Laviska Shenault, Keelan Cole and Chris Conley are poised to lead Jacksonville's receiving corps in the season finale.

JANUARY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Another practice absence Chark (shin) remained sidelined at practice Thursday.

Impact With Chark now having logged consecutive DNPs, his status for Sunday's game against the Colts is cloudy. If he ends up missing Jacksonville's season finale, added snaps and targets will be available for Laviska Shenault, Keelan Cole and Chris Conley.

DECEMBER 31, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Chark (shin) didn't practice Wednesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mark Long of the Associated Press reports previously relayed that Jaguars coach Doug Marrone was unsure about Chark's Week 17 status, so the wideout's absence from practice Wednesday would appear to be more than just a maintenance day. If Chark is out or limited Sunday against the Colts, added targets would be available for Laviska Shenault, Keelan Cole and Chris Conley.

Status shaky for Week 17 Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday that he's unsure about Chark's chances of playing Week 17 against the Colts while the receiver tends to a shin injury, Mark Long of t...

Impact Jacksonville hadn't previously announced that Chark picked up an injury in the Week 16 loss to the Bears, during which he played 75 percent of the offensive snaps and grabbed four of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. Chark's activity (or lack thereof) in practices Wednesday through Friday will likely determine whether the wideout plays in the season finale, but the Jaguars could be hesitant to keep him active if he's not able to advance to full participation by the end of the week. The 1-14 Jaguars have little at stake Week 17, so it would make sense for the organization to take a cautious approach with a player who will be a big part of its plans in 2021.

DECEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Records score in lopsided loss Chark brought in four of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 41-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Chark's touchdown reception, which came from 20 yards out on an impressive catch in the left corner of the end zone, actually pulled the Jaguars even with the Bears at 10-10 in the second quarter. While Chicago would go on to separate comfortably in the second half, Chark was able to pace Jacksonville in receiving yardage while finding the end zone for the first time since Week 9. Chark will look to follow up his solid numbers with even better production as the Jags close out a forgettable season versus the Colts on the road in Week 17.
