Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Out for Sunday
Rotowire
Agnew (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
The veteran wideout was unable to practice all week after missing the Falcons' Week 2 win over the Vikings due to a groin injury, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. With both Agnew and Casey Washington (concussion) out in Week 3, KhaDarel Hodge is projected to play a larger role in Atlanta's wide receiver room. Additionally, Ray-Ray McCloud is likely to serve as the team's top kick and punt returner.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Ruled out for SNF
Rotowire
Agnew (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Vikings, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Agnew was injured in the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Bucs after returning a pair of kickoffs for 57 yards and two punts for 29 yards. Almost strictly a special teams player at this point in his career, Agnew hasn't caught a regular-season pass since 2023.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Dealing with groin injury
Rotowire
Agnew is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 1 game against Tampa Bay due to a groin injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Agnew didn't play in any preseason games due to an oblique injury, and he's now dealing with a groin issue. He's a depth wideout for the Falcons, but his most prominent role is as a kick and punt returner. Ray-Ray McCloud, Mike Hughes and Natrone Brooks are candidates to work in the return game if Agnew can't return.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Dealing with oblique injury
Rotowire
Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Agnew is dealing with an oblique injury, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
It helps explain Agnew's absences from the Falcons' initial two preseason games. The veteran return man signed with Atlanta back in March and figures to see most of his playing time on special teams in 2025.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Yet to suit up in preseason
Rotowire
Agnew did not play in Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans.
Agnew has been in street clothes for each of Atlanta's first two exhibitions, along with fellow wideouts Drake London, Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge. Given Agnew has been part of that group, it's safe to assume the veteran will likely land a spot on the Falcons' initial 53-man roster. However, Agnew will probably be utilized more on special teams as a primary return man than on offense when everyone is healthy.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Signs with Atlanta
Rotowire
Agnew signed a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million with the Falcons on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The returner and wide receiver spent time on Pittsburgh's practice squad last year after breaking his leg late in the 2023 campaign with Jacksonville. Agnew's career high for catches is just 24, recorded when he was with the Jaguars in 2021, but he does have six career return touchdowns on punts and kickoffs. The 2017 fifth-round pick of the Lions should have a chance to earn that type of role with the Falcons in 2025.

Steelers' Jamal Agnew: Elevated ahead of wild-card contest
Rotowire
Pittsburgh elevated Agnew from its practice squad to its active roster Saturday, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Agnew signed with the Steelers' practice squad in mid-November, and this is his first elevation of the season. The veteran wideout played in 11 games with Jacksonville last year, tallying 14 catches on 21 targets for 225 yards and a touchdown while losing two yards on four carries. Pittsburgh's wideout corps is relatively healthy, so Agnew isn't likely to see many opportunities Saturday in the wild-card matchup versus Baltimore.

Jamal Agnew: Trying out in Pittsburgh
Rotowire
The Steelers tried out Agnew (lower leg) on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
It appears that Agnew has moved past his season-ending lower leg injury from last year after trying out with the Steelers on Monday. The veteran wide receiver, who received Pro Bowl honors after recording 752 kickoff- and punt-return yards in 2022, is expected to compete for the Steelers' top return-man duties if he's added to their roster.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Cleared to practice
Rotowire
Agnew (shoulder) was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Agnew has spent the minimum of four weeks on IR and could return to action as soon as Sunday against the Ravens. However, the Jaguars will have a 21-day window to evaluate him in practice before he would need to be added to the 53-man roster or left on IR for the remainder of the season.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Lands on IR
Rotowire
Jacksonville placed Agnew (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.
Agnew hurt his shoulder in this past Sunday's loss to San Francisco, and his move to IR means he'll need to sit out at least four games. The veteran wideout has worked as the Jaguars' primary kick and punt returner this season while also tallying nine catches on 12 targets for 90 yards as a receiver. Parker Washington (knee) was activated from IR in a corresponding move and could take Washington's place as both a return man and depth wideout.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Hurts shoulder Sunday
Rotowire
Agnew was forced out of Sunday's game against the 49ers with a shoulder injury.
Prior to his exit from the contest, Agnew did not record any catches. With Zay Jones (knee) already out, Tim Jones is a candidate to see added Week 10 snaps alongside fellow WRs Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: No targets in win
Rotowire
Agnew didn't receive a target, returned one kickoff for 27 yards and three punts for 34 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win against the Steelers.
The veteran return man had four catches for 36 yards last week but wasn't involved in the passing game Sunday despite the continued absence of Zay Jones (knee). Agnew played just 20 offensive snaps compared to Tim Jones' 25, but neither wideout received a target from quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Set to play in London
Rotowire
Agnew (quadricep) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills in London.
The quad injury kept Agnew from playing in the Jaguars' first game in London in Week 4 versus Atlanta, but he'll be back in action Sunday after turning in a trio of limited practices this week. In addition to Agnew, the Jaguars are getting Zay Jones (knee) back from a two-game absence, so the team's receiving corps will have all of its key contributors available Sunday. Agnew will likely serve as Jacksonville's No. 4 wideout and top return man.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Agnew (quadricep) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
Agnew missed the Week 4 win over the Falcons in London due to the quad injury, but it's encouraging to see him on the practice field heading into another London clash this Sunday, with Jacksonville facing Buffalo in Week 5. According to Mark Long of the Associated Press, head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that he's expecting Agnew to play this weekend, and the receiver's ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday would certainly be a step toward achieving that goal. Zay Jones (knee) was also a limited participant Wednesday after missing the previous two games, so if he's back in action Sunday, Agnew would likely be relegated to the No. 4 receiver role.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Considered game-time call
Rotowire
Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Agnew (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta in London, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
While the Jaguars want to wait and see how Agnew feels ahead of kickoff, Pederson said he's optimistic the speedster will play. If Agnew is available, he could see increased snaps on offense for a second straight week due to Zay Jones (knee) being ruled out again. Agnew secured four of five targets for 49 yards during last week's loss to the Texans, temporarily putting him on the map as a deep-league option and cheap DFS play ahead of the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: One catch versus KC
Rotowire
Agnew caught his lone target for five yards and returned two punts for five yards during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Chiefs.
The veteran return man played 24 offensive snaps with Zay Jones leaving the game due a knee issue, but Jones eventually returned while Agnew was unable to take advantage of the absence. Agnew is likely to continue working as the Jags' No. 4 wideout as long as Jones, Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley are available.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Limited to start prep
Rotowire
Agnew (shoulder) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice.
Agnew was deemed active for the wild-card win over the Chargers despite being limited at each practice ahead of the game, so barring a setback, the All-Pro returner should be available for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Kansas City. However, his official status likely won't be known until later in the week.

Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Deemed questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Agnew (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers.
Agnew popped up on Tuesday's injury report with a shoulder injury that kept him limited for all three practices heading into Saturday's matchup. The 27-year-old wideout has had a consistent, albeit limited, role in the Jaguars' passing game this season, recording 23 receptions (on 30 targets) for 187 yards and three touchdowns. The biggest effect of his potential absence would be felt on special teams, as Agnew has served as the primary returner on both kickoffs and punts this season. Should he sit out, then running back JaMycal Hasty and/or top wideout Christian Kirk will likely fill in on special teams.
