Thomas Jr., a UDFA, fills a rotational role at defensive end for the Jaguars. His role defensively over the last two games has increased. On the season, Thomas Jr. has recorded two pressures and a sack.
Dennis Gardeck and Danny Striggow will fill the rotational roles behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker.
Trotter Jr. moved into a starting role last week against the LA Rams.
