Brian Thomas on rough stretch: Just want to flush it
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas has struggled recently, with two games without a catch and no playing time in the second half of the Week 6 loss to the Texans.
- Thomas dropped a pass in the first half of that game, raising questions about his role amid the team's multiple receiving options as the trade deadline approaches.
- Head coach Liam Coen expects Thomas to contribute in the upcoming game against the Colts, and Thomas has adopted a fresh mindset after the team's bye week.
- Despite a strong rookie season with 87 catches for 1,282 yards, Thomas's production has declined to 57 catches for 812 yards since Coen became coach, though the Jaguars have maintained a 17-5 record under Coen.
- Trade rumors involving Thomas persist, but the receiver will need to demonstrate improved performance soon to dispel speculation.
