D.J. Chark Jr. Carted Off With Leg Injury Thursday
3 years agoJacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (leg) was carted off the field in significant pain on Thursday night after a player rolled up on the back of his leg. The injury happened on the Jaguars first drive of the game. Anytime a player is carted off the field, it's usually a long-term injury, but we'll have to wait and see what the extent of the injury is. Heading into the game against Cincy, Chark was second on the team in targets (22) behind Marvin Jones Jr. The bad news is he has just seven receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns. If Chark is forced to miss extensive time, second-year receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. would be the primary beneficiary in Jacksonville's offense. Shenault is already owned in 57 percent of Yahoo Leagues, but that ownership level would rise even more should Chark miss multiple games, which seems likely.
