Jaguars place Dan Arnold (MCL) on injured reserve

The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed tight end Dan Arnold (MCL sprain) on the injured reserve.

What It Means:

Arnold's season is likely over, considering that his Grade II MCL sprain will keep him out for 4-6 weeks and that the Jaguars are far out of contention for a playoff spot this season. Arnold shined as a pass catcher for the both the Carolina Panthers and the Jags this season, but will likely need to prove himself again in 2022.

While Arnold will likely miss the rest of the season, the Jags did recently elevate fellow tight end James O'Shaughnessy from the injured reserve. O'Shaughnessy looked to be an important part of the team's Week 1 offensive game plan prior to his injury, and caught 3 of 5 targets for 29 yards in Week 12.
