Farrell (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Farrell tested positive for the virus Monday but is back on the active roster without missing a game. James O'Shaughnessy (hip) has been unable to practice this week while Chris Manhertz (illness) and Jacob Hollister (illness) remain in the health and safety protocols, so Farrell could be in line for an increased workload this weekend in New England.

Jacksonsille placed Farrell on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farrell played one offensive snap Sunday against the Jets and is now on the COVID-19 list. Chris Manhertz (illness) was also added to the list, leaving James O'Shaughnessy and Jacob Hollister as the only healthy tight ends on the roster.

Farrell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Farrell will be inactive for the second time this season with interim coach Darrell Bevell now leading the Jaguars. Jacob Hollister will instead serve as Jacksonville's No. 3 tight end behind James O'Shaughnessy and Chris Manhertz.

Farrell should have an increased role for the Jaguars because James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) is out indefinitely, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Shaughnessy suffered the injury early in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, and Farrell ended up catching one of two targets for six yards while playing 36 offensive snaps. The rookie fifth-round pick saw more playing time than blocking specialist Chris Manhertz, who also did not receive a target. Farrell is unlikely to be a significant piece of the offense but should continue to operate as one of Jacksonville's top two tight ends.

The Jaguars selected Farrell in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 145th overall.
EDGE Analysis
Farrell only displayed average pass-catching skills across four years at Ohio State, recording a total of 34 catches for 380 yards and four scores in his collegiate career. Reliable hands aren't Farrell's issue so much as speed and route-running chops, so while he could serve as an occasional bail-out option for Trevor Lawrence, it's likely that the vast majority of his snaps occur as a blocker.
