Kirk (groin) said Monday at OTAs that he feels back to full health and looks forward to leading Jacksonville's revamped wide receiver room,
Shaaz Peerani of ABC News reports.
ANALYSISKirk missed the final five games of the 2023 season due to a groin issue, but he said that he's now healthy and "ready to wake some people back up and remind them of the type of player I am." The 27-year-old is now the most experienced starter in the Jaguars' wideout corps, with
Calvin Ridley and
Zay Jones having been replaced by
Gabe Davis and rookie first-rounder
Brian Thomas. Kirk praised Thomas and second-year pro
Parker Washington, but the 27-year-old is the favorite to re-emerge as
Trevor Lawrence's most trusted target, with tight end
Evan Engram also primed to occupy a key role in the passing game.
