On Friday, the Jaguars announced that receiver DJ Chark Jr. will play this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Chark entered the week after missing last week’s contest against the Cleveland Browns due to a rib injury. He was listed as limited on Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in full on Friday.
Over the course of the season, Chark had not been able to get into much of a rhythm with the team’s quarterbacks, including last year’s starter in Gardner Minshew II. While dealing with various injuries throughout the season, including a chest/back injury that held him out for multiple weeks, Chark simply hasn’t produced in the same way as he did last season.
