Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Loses fumble in playoff loss
Rotowire
Agnew caught two of three targets for five yards, rushed once for two yards, returned three kickoffs for 131 yards and returned three punts for 23 yards during Saturday's 27-20 AFC divisional round loss to the Chiefs. He also lost a fumble.
The 27-year-old had a 63-yard kick return during the first quarter and also lost a fumble on a short reception during the third quarter. Jacksonville's revamped receiving corps this year meant Agnew had an infrequent role in the offense, and he never played more than 17 offensive snaps in any contest. He finished the campaign with 23 receptions for 187 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 12 rushes for 86 yards. Agnew's primary job was once again as a return man, and he averaged 26.0 yards per kick return and 8.2 yards per punt return. He's entering the final season of the three-year, $14.25 million contract he signed with Jacksonville back in 2021.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Availability up in the air
Rotowire
Agnew (shoulder) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against Kansas City.
Agnew will be questionable to play for the second week in a row while dealing with a shoulder injury. The talented returner has been limited during every practice over the past two weeks due to this lingering issue, though he was still deemed active for last Saturday's wild-card win over the Chargers. Therefore, it's likely Agnew is on the same trajectory heading into this highly anticipated road playoff matchup. If not, then JaMycal Hasty and/or Christian Kirk should be in line to serve as Jacksonville's top returners on special teams.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Limited to start prep
Rotowire
Agnew (shoulder) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice.
Agnew was deemed active for the wild-card win over the Chargers despite being limited at each practice ahead of the game, so barring a setback, the All-Pro returner should be available for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Kansas City. However, his official status likely won't be known until later in the week.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Deemed questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Agnew (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers.
Agnew popped up on Tuesday's injury report with a shoulder injury that kept him limited for all three practices heading into Saturday's matchup. The 27-year-old wideout has had a consistent, albeit limited, role in the Jaguars' passing game this season, recording 23 receptions (on 30 targets) for 187 yards and three touchdowns. The biggest effect of his potential absence would be felt on special teams, as Agnew has served as the primary returner on both kickoffs and punts this season. Should he sit out, then running back JaMycal Hasty and/or top wideout Christian Kirk will likely fill in on special teams.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Dealing with injury
Rotowire
Agnew (shoulder) was a limited participant during the Jaguars' practice Tuesday.
Agnew logged exactly one reception for the third game in a row while playing his typical share of snaps during Saturday's win over Tennessee. However, it appears he came away from this contest with a shoulder injury, keeping him limited during Jacksonville's first practice ahead of this Saturday's wild-card matchup versus the Chargers. Agnew has served as the Jaguars' primary returner on special teams this season, and he recorded a season-long 54-yard kick return during the second quarter Week 18. The 27-year-old will have two more opportunities to increase his practice activity heading to the playoffs.

Agnew caught his lone target for eight yards, returned four kickoffs for 125 yards and two punts for 33 yards during Saturday's 20-16 win against the Titans.

The 27-year-old has worked as a gadget player in Jacksonville's offense this year and has 23 catches for 187 yards and three touchdowns plus 12 carries for 86 yards.

Agnew (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Questionable for London game
Rotowire
Agnew (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Agnew logged a third consecutive limited practice Friday, so his status will likely come down to a game-time decision. Even if he plays, Agnew will likely have a limited role as Jacksonville's fourth-string wide receiver. If you're relying on him in a deeper format, make sure to set your alarm, as the Jaguars will be facing the Broncos in London on Sunday, so kickoff's at 9:30 am EDT.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Stays limited in practice
Rotowire
Agnew (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
The only player on the Jaguars' Week 8 injury report, Agnew had his practice reps capped for the second day in a row after he missed his first game of the season during last week's loss to the Giants. If Agnew can advance to full participation Friday, he'll likely enter this Sunday's matchup with the Broncos without a designation. Now that all of Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and Marvin Jones are healthy, Agnew will presumably have a bit role on offense Sunday if he manages to shake off his knee injury.

Agnew (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
After sitting out the Jaguars' Week 7 loss to the Giants, Agnew was able to take on some practice reps to begin Week 8 prep. Considering he didn't practice in any fashion last week, Agnew at least seems to be making progress in his recovery from the knee injury. He'll have two more practices to potentially increase his activity and approach Sunday's game against the Broncos without an injury designation.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Likely to step into starting role
Rotowire
Agnew is expected to serve as one of the Jaguars' top three receivers Sunday against the Colts with Marvin Jones (hamstring) inactive for the contest, Adam Stites of USA Today reports.
Both Christian Kirk and Zay Jones are expected to remain firmly ahead of Agnew in the pecking order at receiver, but Marvin Jones' absence at least opens up more work for Agnew, who tied his season low by playing just five offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Texans. While Zay Jones was sidelined with an ankle injury Week 4, Agnew served as Jacksonville's third receiver for the team's loss to Philadelphia and finished with four receptions for 50 yards and two touchdowns on six targets. Even in that contest, however, Agnew still played just 37 percent of the Jaguars' snaps on offense.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Catches two TDs in loss
Rotowire
Agnew caught four of six targets for 50 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 29-21 loss to Philadelphia. He also returned three kickoffs for 70 yards and two punts for eight yards.
The 27-year-old played 18 of 47 offensive snaps with Zay Jones (ankle) inactive and took full advantage of his opportunities Sunday. Agnew scored the only two offensive touchdowns of the day for the Jaguars, and he also led the team in receptions and finished second to only Christian Kirk in targets and yards. Tim Jones actually played more offensive snaps (26) but was targeted only once, as Agnew clearly is the more trusted option among Jacksonville's depth wideouts.

Rotowire
Agnew had two carries for one yard, failed to catch his lone target and returned two punts for seven yards during Sunday's 24-0 win against the Colts.
Agnew played only seven offensive snaps and once again served as a gadget player in addition to his return duties. The 27-year-old is likely to remain in the same role while the rest of the receiving corps is healthy.
