Reports: Jaguars WR Christian Kirk out for season with broken collarbone in loss to Packers

The Jaguars dropped to 2-6 on the season after their 30-27 loss to Green Bay

Christian Kirk's season is over.

Jacksonville's wide receiver sustained a broken collarbone, according to multiple media reports, in the Jaguars' 30-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon. That will knock him out for the rest of the season.

Kirk went down in the fourth quarter of Jacksonville's loss to the Packers at Everbank Stadium while trying to catch a deep pass from Trevor Lawrence in the middle of the field. Kirk barely missed the catch, and he landed directly on his left side as he hit the ground.

Kirk immediately reached for his shoulder, in a lot of pain, and the Jaguars quickly ruled him out for the rest of the game. He was in a sling as he left the stadium.

Kirk had two catches for 59 yards when he left the game Sunday. He'll finish the season with 379 yards and a touchdown on 27 catches.

Kirk is in his third season with the Jaguars. The 27-year-old is in the third year of a four-year, $72 million deal with the team. He had been the subject of trade rumors in recent weeks, too, but his injury will likely end that ahead of the deadline next month.

Trevor Lawrence completed 21 of 32 passes for 208 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the loss for the Jaguars, which dropped them to 2-6 on the season. They tied the game just inside the two-minute warning after Lawrence hit Evan Engram for a 14-yard score, but the Packers mounted a game-winning drive capped by a 24-yard field goal from Brandon McManus.

The Jaguars will take on the Philadelphia Eagles next week in Pennsylvania.
