Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis and running back Travis Etienne will be the playing time decisions for Sunday’s game in Philadelphia, coach Doug Pederson announced Friday.

Thomas (chest) and Davis (shoulder) suffered their respective injuries during Jacksonville’s 30-27 setback against the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. Etienne (hamstring) has missed the last two games.

However, Pederson said left guard Ezra Cleveland (ankle) is “probably not going to make it” for the Week 9 game between the Jaguars (2-6) and Eagles (5-2).

Thomas, 22, leads the team in catches (33), receiving yards (573) and receiving touchdowns (five). The rookie was selected by the Jaguars with the 23rd overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Davis, 25, has 18 receptions for 217 yards and two scores in eight games.

After back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, Etienne has rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns in six starts this season. Etienne, 25, has 16 catches for 91 yards.

Sophomore running back Tank Bigsby leads Jacksonville in carries (85), rushing yards (493) and rushing TDs (four).
