The Jaguars are expected to decline the team option for Eifert's contract in 2021, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eifert was expected to earn slightly below $5 million in 2021, but now it looks like he will be entering free agency. He recorded 349 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games for Jacksonville in 2020. It was the 30-year-old's only season with the Jags after spending his first seven years in Cincinatti.

Eifert caught one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 28-14 loss to Indianapolis.
EDGE Analysis
It was a quiet finish to an underwhelming season for the 30-year-old, and he totaled 36 catches for 349 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games. The fact Eifert missed only one game is good news given his injury history, but it didn't lead to much production with the Jags. He could return to Jacksonville if the team exercises his $5 million club option for 2021, but the new front office and coaching staff may decide to go in a different direction.

Eifert caught two of five targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old ranked tied-second on the team with five targets, but he was unable to turn that production into anything worthwhile. There's simply no week-to-week consistency in Eifert's production, and he hasn't eclipsed 30 receiving yards in back-to-back games this season.

Eifert caught three of four targets for 51 yards during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first time this season Eifert has gone over 50 receiving yards, with a 28-yard reception late in the third quarter accounting for most of the yardage. Even with Jacksonville trailing all afternoon and down 26-0 at halftime, the production in the aerial attack was modest. Eifert has 33 receptions for 322 yards and two touchdowns through 12 games, so his fantasy prospects remain limited heading into Week 16.

Eifert (quadriceps/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old never practiced fully at any point this week due to the two injuries, but neither will affect his availability for the game versus the Ravens. Though he's been Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end all season, Eifert has turned in a modest 30 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games.

Eifert (quadriceps/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Eifert's absence from practice Wednesday was characterized as a maintenance day, but the fact that he had two injuries listed alongside his name still makes his status worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game in Baltimore. While the tight end took a step forward by getting back on the practice field Thursday, he may need to put in a full workout Friday to avoid taking a designation into the weekend.

Eifert received a scheduled day off at practice Wednesday and is listed on the Jaguars' official report with quadriceps and knee injuries.
EDGE Analysis
Eifert played through a shoulder issue in last week's loss to the Titans, and now he's dealing with a pair of new issues heading into Week 15. The veteran tight end has regularly received Wednesday off this season, so what he's able to do in practice Thursday and Friday will be more informative with regard to his status for Sunday's game in Baltimore.

Eifert caught both his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old played 45 of 71 offensive snaps but rarely was involved in the passing game despite Mike Glennon and Gardner Minshew combining for 54 pass attempts. Eifert's six catches for 45 yards Week 13 likely represents the ceiling for his weekly production in this offense.

Eifert (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Eifert was considered questionable due to the shoulder issue, but the injury won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. The 30-year-old played a season-high 72 percent of the offensive snaps last week while catching six passes for 45 yards, and he'll continue to operate as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end.

Eifert (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old began the week not practicing, but he returned as a limited participant Thursday and earned the questionable tag. Eifert appears on track to play in Sunday's divisional matchup, though James O'Shaughnessy is in line to start if he can't suit up.
