Summary

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers jammed his thumb during practice ahead of the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on August 19. Although Meyers did not play in the game, he was seen with a glove and a brace on his right hand. Head coach Liam Coen stated the team will evaluate his status further by Tuesday.
