Wide receiver Christian Kirk began his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve as the Jaguars prepare for the regular-season finale at Tennessee.

Kirk was injured in Jacksonville's "Monday Night Football" loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13 and placed on injured reserve Dec. 8 with a groin injury.

In 12 games this season, he has 57 receptions for 787 yards and three touchdowns. A big-ticket free agent prior to the 2022 season, Kirk has 141 receptions for 1,895 yards and 11 touchdowns in 29 games with Jacksonville.

Kirk, 27, caught three passes for 48 yards in the first matchup with the Titans on Nov. 19.

He is third on the team in receptions and targets behind tight end Evan Engram (104 receptions, 130 targets) and wide receiver Calvin Ridley (70 receptions, 126 targets).
