The Jaguars\u2019 offense has suffered multiple notable injuries in 2024, and the unit is set to be further shorthanded. Wideout\u00a0Gabe Davis<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is feared to have suffered a meniscus tear, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report<\/a>. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Surgery is on tap as a result, and that procedure will dictate the length of Davis\u2019 absence. A trim would entail a multi-week recovery and likely a stint on injured reserve, but it could leave the door open to a return late in the campaign. A full repair would, on the other hand, shut Davis down for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

Of course, with Jacksonville sitting at 2-9 on the year, there is little reason to rush the 25-year-old back onto the field. A full repair carries a better long-term outlook, and Davis\u2019 attention will no doubt be focused primarily on 2025 with a playoff berth out of reach for this season. The former Bill signed a three-year, $39MM<\/a> deal in free agency, so being fully healthy by Week 1 of next year will be a priority for team and player.<\/p>\n

Davis was set to play a key role in Jacksonville\u2019s new-look receiving corps in 2024 after the team lost Calvin Ridley<\/a> <\/strong>on the open market. Davis has logged a 72% snap share during his debut campaign in Duval County, but it has not yielded a consistent role in the passing game. The former fourth-rounder has received three or fewer targets four times this year, amassing 239 yards and a pair of scores on 20 receptions.<\/p>\n

Those totals have yielded a yards per catch average of 12.0, the lowest of Davis\u2019 career. Having been brought in to serve as a deep threat, the UCF product has seen first-round rookie\u00a0Brian Thomas<\/a> Jr<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>succeed in that capacity. Thomas has posted a 42-689-5 statline this season, cementing his status as a key member of the team\u2019s offense now and for years to come.\u00a0Christian Kirk<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 who was the subject of considerable trade talk in general and negotiations involving the Steelers<\/a> in particular \u2013 is under contract for next year.<\/p>\n

Most of Davis\u2019 compensation for 2025 ($12.5MM) is guaranteed, so he is set to remain in Jacksonville for at least one more season. Week 1 of that campaign may represent the next time he is available to the team, which is already the case for Kirk given his broken collarbone<\/a>. For the time being, Thomas will be positioned to handle a heavy workload atop the WR depth chart after the Jags\u2019 bye week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
