Currently in his second season with the franchise, he signed a three-year, $24 million deal with the team in 2022. Notably, he achieved a career-high 82 receptions and 823 yards last season.
The seasoned veteran last played for the Jaguars in Week 5 but has been inactive in the past four games due to a knee injury.
