Chark suffered a broken left ankle. The former Pro Bowler will be out indefinitely.
There is a good chance that with Chark’s injury that he will miss the rest of the season. Before his injury, he had no receptions in one of the league’s marquee days.
The Jaguars should know the severity of the injury in the morning when Chark undergoes more tests.
It’s a tough blow for Chark. This could impact his life moving forward, as next March he’ll be a free agent.
