Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns is not practicing Thursday, according to Mark Long of the Associated Press.
Allen Hurns not practicing Thursday, should be kept on fantasy benches

Hurns was forced out of action in Week 12 due to a concussion, one that required hospitalization. On Wednesday, Long reported that offensive coordinator Greg Olson deemed it unlikely that Hurns would be cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol in time for Sunday's bout with the Tennessee Titans, and Hurns' absence from practice coincides with that sentiment.
Fantasy impact: With Hurns likely sidelined, it's expected that Allen Robinson and Julius Thomas will get all the targets they can handle against a quietly capable Titans secondary. Thomas had his best game of the year in Week 12 with Hurns taking an early exit, catching 9 of 10 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown.
Thomas and Robinson can both be considered in TE1 and WR1 territory, respectively, and Hurns should remain on fantasy benches until owners hear any good news about his status.
