The Jaguars’ young star avoided a scary situation after taking a hard fall and leaving the practice field on Wednesday.

The Jaguars kicked off their second minicamp practice on Wednesday with the rest of the NFL. Unfortunately it did not come without a bit of an injury scare involving second-year standout Brian Thomas Jr.

Per multiple reports, last year’s first-round pick was seen experiencing a hard fall following a catch on the field. From those in attendance, it looked as if Thomas Jr. may have injured his shoulder with the way they helped him into the locker room.

However, following the team’s session, head coach Liam Coen was quick to let reporters know that their star receiver was in fact “fine” and that he was withheld from returning to the field out of an abundance of caution. Seeing just how early it is in the offseason, this was certainly the right call to make and I think most of us would have been shocked to see him back out there with his pads on.
