Jaguars Tight End Brenton Strange Nears Return from Injury
11 Nov
Summary
- Brenton Strange suffered a hip injury in Week 5
- Strange was placed on injured reserve but could return in Week 11
- Prior to injury, Strange was having a career year with 204 yards in 5 games
The Jacksonville Jaguars are on the verge of getting tight end Brenton Strange back from injury. Strange suffered a hip injury during the team's Week 5 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, which resulted in him being placed on injured reserve. However, the injury was not season-ending, and the Jaguars are now taking the first step toward bringing Strange back.
On Monday, the Jaguars announced that they have designated Strange to return from injured reserve this week. This opens a 21-day window for the team to activate him, and head coach Liam Coen expressed optimism that Strange could play as soon as this Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Prior to the injury, Strange was in the midst of a career year, having tallied 204 yards in just 5 games. Despite missing the last 4 games, he still has plenty of time to surpass his personal-best mark. The Jaguars are hopeful that Strange's return will provide a boost to their offense as they continue their push for a playoff spot.
