Pierre Desir was having himself quite the start to Week 13’s contest. Early in the game Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles chucked a pass towards Marqise Lee on the sideline. Desir dove into the thick of the play, nearly making a one-handed interception and breaking up the completion. The play showed exactly why Desir has been the starting cornerback over second-round rookie Quincy Wilson. Unfortunately for Indianapolis and Desir, the fourth-year cornerback suffered a shoulder injury, ending his season and his chance for the Defensive Player of the Week award.
The loss of Desir thrust Wilson into the game and paired him with fellow rookie Nate Hairston.
