It has been a tough season for second-year wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. In 2025, but the youngster has been better of late.

Over his late two games, Thomas has reeled in seven catches for 153 yards and one touchdown and appears to be getting back on track.

However, Thomas is off to a slow start in the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Brian Thomas Jr. Playing today?

Yes, Thomas is active and healthy, he just wasn't targeted on the opening drive.

He didn't have much of a chance to get going, either, as the Jags went three-and-out on the first series.

Hopefully he gets going sooner rather than later.
