Farrell played 10 of his 11 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Ravens.
What it means:
Jacksonville kept four tight ends active Week 12, but Farrell and Dan Arnold (three snaps on offense) ranked far behind starter Evan Engram (51 snaps) and top backup Chris Manhertz (20 snaps) in terms of usage. Even if an injury to Engram or Manhertz opens up more playing time at tight end, Arnold is a better bet than Farrell to contribute as a pass catcher.
Farrell went without a target across his eight snaps on offense in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Texans.
What it means:
Farrell was one of four tight ends active for Jacksonville in Week 5, with his 11 percent snap share on offense matching Dan Arnold. Considering Arnold has played 47 snaps on offense to Farrell's 14, the former still looks to be the Jaguars' clear No. 3 tight end at the moment. Even so, Farrell should still continue to avoid the inactive lists most weeks thanks to his consistent role on special teams.
Farrell didn't receive a target during Sunday's 26-11 win over Indianapolis.
What it means:
Farrell started Sunday's contest alongside Chris Manhertz, but Jacob Hollister was the only Jacksonville tight end to be targeted in the passing game. Farrell finished his rookie campaign with seven receptions for 56 yards in 15 games, and he should enter 2022 competing for a depth role with Manhertz behind Dan Arnold (knee), who currently projects to be the team's No. 1 tight end.
Farrell caught one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss to the Patriots.
What it means:
Farrell received the start and played 72 percent of the offensive snaps with James O'Shaughnessy (hip) sidelined), though it didn't result in much involvement in the passing game. It was Farrell's first reception since Week 8, and he's unlikely to be a significant factor in the passing game in the season finale versus the Colts even if he sees a similar snap.
Farrell (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
What it means:
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.
Farrell (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
What it means:
Farrell played one offensive snap Sunday against the Jets and is now on the COVID-19 list, though it's unclear if he tested positive for the virus. Chris Manhertz also entered the health and safety protocols, leaving James O'Shaughnessy and Jacob Hollister as the only healthy tight ends on the roster.
