James O'Shaughnessy - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Corrals lone target O'Shaughnessy caught one pass for 16 yards in the Bears' 27-11 preseason win over the Seahawks' on Thursday.

Impact O'Shaughnessy took the field on the second drive, right after the Bears took their first-team offense on the field. His reception came from backup quarterback Trevor Siemian. The tight end will likely continue to battle with Ryan Griffin for the No. 2 tight end role behind Cole Kmet.

Back on practice field O'Shaughnessy (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact After missing last week's game due to the undisclosed injury, O'Shaughnessy's return to practice may put him on track to appear in Thursday's preseason game against the Seahawks.

AUGUST 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Saturday O'Shaughnessy (undisclosed) isn't expected to suit up for Saturday's preseason opener against the Chiefs, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

Impact Among a number of players battling injuries, O'Shaughnessy was reported to be one of those who is not expected to face the Chiefs. Currently third on the Bears' depth chart at tight end, he's competing for a backup role with Ryan Griffin (undisclosed).

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

May be useful blocker O'Shaughnessy can seal off the edge as a run blocker while occasionally moving into the slot, Parker Hurley of BearGogglesOn reports.

Impact O'Shaughnessy will likely slot in as the third tight end on the Bears' depth chart behind Cole Kmet and Ryan Griffin. It's unlikely he'll be selected in most fantasy drafts. However, he was on his way to a career year last year with the Jaguars, when he caught 24 passes for 244 yards in seven games. Should he be forced into a prominent role at some point, he could be a capable receiver. Otherwise, it would appear that most of his snaps will see him function as a blocker.

AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Signed by Chicago The Bears signed O'Shaughnessy to a one-year contract Monday.

Impact O'Shaughnessy joins a tight end room led by Cole Kmet alongside Ryan Griffin and Jesper Horsted. The former was limited to just seven appearances with Jacksonville last season, as he dealt with hip and ankle injuries, but he now appears fully healthy. In those seven contests, O'Shaughnessy secured 24 of 34 targets for 244 yards, but he was held without a touchdown.

Visits Bears O'Shaughnessy (hip) visited the Bears on Monday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

Impact O'Shaughnessy only appeared in seven games during the 2021 season, missing the last two weeks with a hip injury and previously sitting out with an ankle issue. The 29-year-old recorded 24 catches on 34 targets for 244 yards, which would have put him on a path for career highs had he played a full season.

MARCH 14, 2022 • Associated Press

Won't play Week 18 O'Shaughnessy (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact O'Shaughnessy will be sidelined by the hip injury for the second straight game to finish the season. He was limited to seven games in 2021 and caught 24 of 34 targets for 244 yards and zero touchdowns. He'll turn 30 years old in mid-January and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from practice Thursday O'Shaughnessy (hip) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session.

Impact O'Shaughnessy has now missed the first two days of practice ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Colts. Unless he returns to the practice field in some capacity Friday, the tight end could be forced to miss a second straight game to close out the regular season.

JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday O'Shaughnessy (hip) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session.

Impact O'Shaughnessy was a non-participant in practice throughout last week before being ruled out for Sunday's game against New England. He'll presumably need to practice in some capacity later this week if he hopes to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against Indianapolis.

JANUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 17 O'Shaughnessy (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact O'Shaughnessy was unable to practice due to the hip injury this week and won't be available for Sunday's contest. Christ Manhertz (illness) and Jacob Hollister (illness) are both on the reserve/COVID-19 list, leaving Luke Farrell and Kahale Warring as Jacksonville's remaining available tight ends.

DECEMBER 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice Thursday O'Shaughnessy (hip) remained sidelined at practice Thursday.

Impact Thursday's absence was O'Shaughnessy's second in a row due to this hip injury. Friday's injury report should help clarify the state of Jacksonville's tight end room, as the team is currently dealing with multiple injuries and a COVID-19 outbreak at the position ahead of Sunday's trip to New England.

DECEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice with hip injury O'Shaughnessy didn't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury.

Impact O'Shaughnessy's injury-related absence from practices comes at an inconvenient time while Jacksonville has four of its other tight ends on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of a trip to New England this weekend. Among the bunch, Jacob Hollister and Dan Arnold (knee) would be most likely to see targets if they're able to play and O'Shaughnessy isn't. Kahale Warring is Jacksonville's only healthy tight end who isn't on the list.

DECEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

More decent production O'Shaughnessy caught all four of his targets for 49 yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jets.

Impact O'Shaughnessy has caught exactly four passes in three straight games as he continues to show a solid rapport with rookie QB Trevor Lawrence. O'Shaughnessy is averaging 3.4 catches and 34.4 receiving yards in five games since returning from injured reserve Week 12, so his fantasy outlook remains quite limited.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leads pass catchers Sunday O'Shaughnessy caught all four of his targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Texans.

Impact O'Shaughnessy led Jacksonville in receiving yards and nearly topped his yardage total from the previous three games combined (63 yards). The 29-year-old doesn't offer much fantasy potential given the inconsistency of rookie QB Trevor Lawrence, and Sunday's performance is likely close to the ceiling for the tight end's production.

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Secures four catches O'Shaughnessy caught four of six targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 20-0 loss at Tennessee.

Impact O'Shaughnessy tied-third on the team in targets and was Jacksonville's only tight end to play double-digit offensive snaps. The 29-year-old has a healthy 17 targets and a touchdown in three games since returning from injured reserve, but he has only nine catches and 63 receiving yards to show for his involvement in the passing game.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in targets O'Shaughnessy caught two of six targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 37-7 loss to the Rams.

Impact O'Shaughnessy's six targets led Jacksonville's pass catchers, but it didn't add up to much production. The 29-year-old continues to operate as the team's No.1 tight end with Dan Arnold (knee) on injured reserve, but he has a low floor for fantasy purposes given the struggles of quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the offense as a whole.

DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Catches three passes in return O'Shaughnessy caught three of five targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Falcons.

Impact The 29-year-old played played 59 of 73 offensive snaps in his first game since Week 2, which was in part due to starter Dan Arnold exiting early with a knee injury. Arnold is set to miss at least the next month with a sprained MCL, so O'Shaughnessy now finds himself atop Jacksonville's depth chart at tight end. He has nine receptions for 77 yards in his two full-game appearances this season, so he clearly has a decent rapport with rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence and could have limited fantasy appeal.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Poised for starting role O'Shaughnessy is in line to serve as the Jaguars' top tight end after Dan Arnold (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

Impact O'Shaughnessy was activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 12 loss to Atlanta, and he hauled in three of five targets for 29 yards. He should see an expanded role across the next several games since Arnold carries a recovery timetable of 4-6 weeks after he sustained a sprained MCL on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IR The Jaguars activated O'Shaughnessy (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact He's expected to make his first appearance since Week 2 when the Jaguars host the Falcons on Sunday. While O'Shaughnessy opened the season as Jacksonville's top tight end, he now figures to slot in behind Dan Arnold, at least when it comes to target/route volume.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Should return Sunday O'Shaughnessy (ankle) is expected to be activated from injured reserve and play Sunday against Atlanta, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact O'Shaughnessy was designated to return from injured reserve Nov. 17, and he's poised to return to game action Week 12 after missing the past eight games. Dan Arnold was acquired from the Panthers and has taken over as the Jags' starting tight end, meaning O'Shaughnessy may need to settle for the role of No. 2 at the position.

NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice The Jaguars designated O'Shaughnessy (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact O'Shaughnessy is thus in line to rejoin the Jaguars for practice Wednesday as the team begins prep for its Week 11 matchup with the 49ers. Given that O'Shaughnessy hasn't played since Week 2 due to the high-ankle sprain, the Jaguars may want to see him turn in more than one week of practices before adding him back to the 53-man roster. Since O'Shaughnessy sustained the injury, the Jaguars acquired Dan Arnold from the Panthers and installed him as their starting tight end. Arnold is unlikely to give up the job after cobbling together a solid 17-195-0 receiving line on 24 targets in Jacksonville's three games since its Week 7 bye.

Lands on IR O'Shaughnessy (ankle) has been placed on IR by the Jaguars.

Impact With a high ankle sprain set to sideline O'Shaughnessy for at least three games, added TE snaps are on tap for Chris Manhertz, Luke Farrell and perhaps Jacob Hollister. Neither profiles as a reliable fantasy lineup option until or unless one of them develops a clear rapport with rookie QB Trevor Lawrence.
