It’s been a season to forget for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken collarbone, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday.

Kirk left Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers in a sling. He exited the game after going for a catch and falling down hard while being guarded by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper.

He had two catches for 59 yards in the Jaguars 30-27 loss.

According to Schefter, Kirk was drawing interest in the trade market ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline. He has one year on his contract and has a $15.5 million salary next season.

Coming into Sunday, the 27-year-old had 25 catches for 320 yards and one touchdown this season.

He had his best year in the NFL in 2022 after catching 84 passes for 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns.

Kirk was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round (47th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.
