Jaguars open Jamal Agnew’s 21-day window to return from IR

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver and return specialist Jamal Agnew will be back on the practice field this week after his 21-day window to return from injured reserve was opened Wednesday morning.

Agnew, 28, landed on IR in November after suffering a shoulder injury in the Jaguars’ 34-3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

In Agnew’s absence, which was coupled with the loss of Christian Kirk due to a core muscle injury, the Jaguars have leaned on rookie Parker Washington as a punt returner and slot receiver. In the past two weeks, Washington has eight receptions for 88 yards and two touchdowns.

So far this season, Agnew has averaged 10.6 yards per punt return and 27.7 yards on kick returns. On offense, he has added nine receptions for 90 yards.

Agnew earned All-Pro honors during his rookie season with the Detroit Lions and earned a Pro Bowl nod for the first time last season with the Jaguars.
