With Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter out due to injury, the Jacksonville Jaguars desperately need more out of Parker Washington.

Washington has typically played a tertiary or lower role in the Jaguars' offense in recent years, but now he's got a golden opportunity to show he's capable of doing more.

However, Washington isn't answering the bell in the first half of the Week 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Parker Washington playing today?

Yes, Washington is active and in the lineup but only received one target in the first half.

It's shocking Washington hasn't been more involved, but then again the Jaguars' offense has struggled mightily after a hot start and Trevor Lawrence only completed three passes in total in the first half.

Hopefully things turn around over the final two quarters of the game.
