Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Julius Thomas has reportedly fractured his finger against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
#Jaguars TE Julius Thomas fractured a finger during tonight’s game, I’m told. The hope is it’ll affect him minimally.

Thomas was injured during the first offensive drive of the game for the Jaguars. He immediately went to the sidelines, was looked at by trainers, and immediately taken to the locker room.
UPDATE: Looks like Thomas will be ready for the season opener against the Carolina Panthers.
