Jaguars receiver Marqise Lee will miss the entire 2018 season due to a knee injury suffered in Saturday night’s preseason contest against the Falcons. Lee will soon be placed on IR, opening up a spot on the club’s 90-man roster. 
It’s a devastating blow to the Jaguars, particularly after they allowed Allen Robinson to walk in free agency this year. Lee had the most catches of any Jaguars receiver in 2017 (56) and finished second in receiving yards (702). Between 2016 and 2017, Lee racked up 119 receptions for 1,553 yards and six touchdowns.
The Jaguars rewarded Lee with a new four-year deal worth up to $38MM this offseason, a pact that includes $18MM guaranteed. Unfortunately, they’ll have to wait until 2019 to see him back in action.
Without Lee, the Jaguars are left with a group that is headlined by Dede Westbrook, Keelan Cole, second-round pick D.J. Clark, and Donte Moncrief. It’s still a talented bunch, which explains why head coach Doug Marrone said he’s “comfortable” with his receivers when asked about the possibility of signing Dez Bryant (Twitter link via Mike Garafolo of NFL.com).
Dez Bryant
the Diva will cost way to much.
Dez to the rescue?
Eric Decker
Perfect chance am spot for Dez
why is it a perfect spot for dez? because there is an opening? it’s with a team that is run heavy, and a QB that most believed last year was being replaced. if sex wants to play football go to the CFL. that’s where WR are made with all that passing
dez
Decker is Retiring.
Dez is ready to go.
Yeah. Dez and Doug.
With the Steelers just acquiring Ryan Switzer from the Raiders, maybe Darrius Heyward-Bey or Eli Rogers will become available for JAX.
The Jags have allocated more than 63% of their cap spending to defense so this is not going to be a major setback. They weren’t counting on their pass game to win any games anyway.
I would think Dez could succeed here but he would still complain when they run constantly and he doesn’t get the ball every play. They should make a move but not for Dez.
