Brian Thomas Aims to Bounce Back After Tough Stretch

Brian Thomas, a wide receiver for the Jaguars, is looking to recover from a challenging period, having gone two consecutive games without a catch. He did not participate in the second half of the team's Week 6 defeat to the Texans.

During that game, Thomas dropped a pass in the first half, raising questions about his position on a team with multiple receiving options as the trade deadline approaches. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen expressed confidence in Thomas's ability to contribute in the upcoming match against the Colts. In a recent statement, Thomas emphasized his intention to move past recent performances and return with a refreshed mindset.

As a rookie, Thomas recorded 87 receptions for 1,282 yards, but since Coen took over as coach in 2025, he has managed 57 catches for 812 yards. Despite this, the Jaguars have maintained a strong record of 17-5 in regular-season games under Coen, which has led to Thomas's name appearing in trade discussions. While such rumors have been dismissed so far, Thomas will need to demonstrate his capabilities in the coming weeks to quell any speculation.
