Christian Kirk’s season is over.
The Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver suffered a broken collarbone in their 30-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon, according to multiple reports. That will leave him out of action for the rest of the season.
Kirk went down in the fourth quarter of their loss to the Packers at Everbank Stadium while trying to catch a deep pass from Trevor Lawrence at midfield. Kirk barely missed the catch and landed directly on his left side as he fell to the ground.
Kirk immediately touched his shoulder, clearly in a lot of pain, and the Jaguars quickly ruled him out for the rest of the game. He was also seen in a sling as he left the stadium.
Kirk had two catches for 59 yards when he left the game Sunday. He will finish the season with 379 yards and a touchdown on 27 receptions.
Kirk is in his third season with the Jaguars this fall. The 27-year-old is in the third year of a four-year, $72 million contract with the team. He had also been the subject of trade rumors in recent weeks, but his injury will likely end before the deadline next month.
Trevor Lawrence was 21 of 32 for 208 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the Jaguars’ loss, which left them just 2-6 on the season. They tied the game just inside the two-minute warning after Lawrence also hit Evan Engram for a 14-yard score, but the Packers mounted a game-winning drive capped by a 24-yard field goal by Brandon McManus.
The Jaguars will face the Philadelphia Eagles next week in Pennsylvania.
