The Jacksonville Jaguars really need a win in Week 11.

They've fallen to 5-4, and going down to.500 wouldn't be good for their playoff chances.

It won't be easy. They're hosting the 7-3 Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday in the early afternoon window.

The Jaguars haven't been as good of late, but their best chances remain when they can find a way to move the ball offensively.

One guy who is crucial to that is Brian Thomas Jr., but this week, the Jags may be out of luck.

Is Brian Thomas Jr. Playing today?

No, Brian Thomas Jr. Is not expected to play Sunday.

"Not quite yet," wrote NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on X.

Thomas continues to deal with an ankle injury.

The star wideout is even more crucial now that Travis Hunter is out for the year, but it's not to be in Week 11.

The Jags will trot out Parker Washington along with new guy Jakobi Meyers as their top-two WRs.

That's actually not a bad group given Trevor Lawrence's success throwing to them, but it still hurts not to have Thomas out there to keep the defense honest.
