The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed wide receiver Christian Kirk on the injured reserve list, officially ending his season. The move comes just as the team gets set to play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
In addition, the Jaguars have ruled out safety Andrew Wingard (knee) and running back Keilan Robinson (toe). The team also elevated receivers Elijah Cooks and Austin Trammell . Gabe Davis (shoulder) and Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) are questionable to play against Philly.

Wingard and Robinson are working their way back from the injured reserve list and have had their 21-day practice windows open.
Kirk broke his collarbone while trying to catch a pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers .
He was immediately ruled out of the game after the play and head coach Doug Pederson announced that he had surgery to repair the injury on Monday.

This is the second year in a row that Kirk has sustained a season-ending injury, suffering a core injury that sidelined him for the tail end of last season.
He logged 27 receptions for 379 yards and a touchdown before injury this year. His career numbers through 36 games with the Jaguars are 2,274 yards on 168 catches.
Kirk has one more year on his contract with the team and will be available to return to the team next season if his rehab process goes well.
Second-year receiver Parker Washington will replace him as a starter for the remainder of the season and the Jaguars will likely call up a practice squad player to supplement the positional depth.
