Brian Thomas: Everything you need to know

Thomas caught both his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round Sunday. The second-year wideout saw limited volume once again, but he made his looks count with a three-yard TD in the second quarter that put Jacksonville on the board. Thomas' struggles in 2025 defied easy explanation, and it will be one of coach Liam Coen's major projects this offseason to find a way to get the 23rd overall pick in the 2024 Draft back on the same page with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. After a dazzling rookie season that saw Thomas produce an 87-1,282-10 line on 133 targets over 17 games, he regressed to a 48-707-2 line on 91 targets over 14 regular-season contests in 2025.

Thomas recorded three receptions on five targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans. Thomas was involved in the game early, earning three targets on the team's first four offensive possessions. However, he then exited the game to be evaluated for a concussion and missed nearly the entire second quarter. Jacksonville then pulled its starters early in the fourth quarter, meaning Thomas played only around half of the game. While that would explain his limited output, this was one of Thomas' more productive performances of late, marking only the third time in his last six matchups that he's topped 40 receiving yards. It was a very disappointing sophomore campaign for Thomas, as he ended the regular season with 707 receiving yards and only two touchdowns across 14 games.

After being evaluated for a concussion, Thomas was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Titans. Good news for the Jaguars in Week 18, with the team headed to the postseason. Prior to leaving the contest, the wideout had caught one of his two targets for 22 yards.
