Thomas' Status

Luckily for the Jaguars, Thomas was a full participant and it is clear he is set to play another large role in a critical Week 3 AFC South game vs. the Houston Texans.

"I think ultimately, I know he’s kind of got a, he’s got a couple things going on, had a wrist injury going into the game and did that play a part in some of this stuff?" Coen said on Monday about Thomas, who struggled last week vs. the Cincinnati Bengals.

"I've got to go talk to him, but I think he's aware of it and needs to have a better week this week. I think he understands what's at stake, he understands what's going on and we got to go get to the root of it.”

Thomas downplayed the injury in the Jaguars locker room on Wednesday, while Coen also noted Monday it should not lead to any missed time.

"I don't know when he did it, but it was something that's just been nagging, it's just been kind of a little nag. I don't think it's anything that's huge," Coen said.

"It's just, it's a thing that he's kind of been working through. So, everybody goes through some things and we're ultimately, it's our job to get to the bottom of it and try to get him to feel good and play at the highest level he can.”
