The Jacksonville Jaguars put together an encouraging performance in their first preseason game on Friday night, but everyone was holding their breath when prized free agent acquisition Julius Thomas caught his first and only pass.
Thomas went down awkwardly after being cut down near the knees by Pittsburgh Steelers’ cornerback William Gay. Thomas surprisingly got up without a problem, but he went to sidelines favoring his hand and later went into the tunnel. We later learned that Thomas fractured a finger in his hand, but it wasn’t too serious and he should be ready for week 1 of the regular season.
