The Jaguars lost wide receiver Christian Kirk to a season-ending injury for a second consecutive season this past Sunday, with their starting slot going down with a broken collarbone which requires surgery.

Kirk shared a message with Jaguars fans via Instagram Tuesday, promising to return to football "better than ever" once he recovers from his latest hurt.

Kirk experienced the injury while attempting to catch a pass on 3rd and 11 in the fourth quarter against Green Bay on Sunday. He landed on his left shoulder as Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper fell on top of him attempting to make a tackle.

Last season, Kirk suffered a season-ending core muscle injury in Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Kirk finished the 2024 season with 27 receptions for 379 yards and one touchdown, bringing his three-year, 37-game line with the Jaguars to 168 receptions for 2,274 yards and 12 touchdowns.
