Jaguars' Jaelen Strong tore ACL in Sunday's game

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars receiver Jaelen Strong said on social media that he tore his left ACL in Sunday's loss to San Francisco.

Strong said on Instagram that he was so excited to be active for the first time this season since joining the Jaguars, and he wanted to walk off the field under his own power after the injury because he wanted to be a good example for children watching the game.

I never questioned God when he continued to overflow my life with blessings so I won't question him now. I was cut in September by the Texans. Jags claimed me a day after. 14 weeks later I am finally active. My first reception goes for a TD. IM SO EXCITED to finally be out here w GANG grinding w my dogs and then I tear my ACL. I walked off on my own power cause i immediately thought of who was watching me, our youth! Let this be a testimony for you. No matter what knocks you down you gotta pull ya self back up and what better way to show you then this... can't wait to watch my dogs in the OFFS! Love everybody who been in my corner. And ima come back on some savage shit and I promise you that w every bone in my body! Thank you #Strizzy

Strong caught three passes for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 44-33 loss at Levi's Stadium.

The Jaguars claimed Strong off waivers from Houston on Sept. 19. The Texans' third-round draft pick in 2015 was suspended for the 2017 season opener after he was arrested and charged with illegal possession of marijuana during the 2016 offseason. He played in the Texans' Week 2 game before getting cut.

Strong appeared in his first game for the Jaguars on Sunday because of ankle injuries to Allen Hurns and Marqise Lee.

Strong has 31 catches for 330 yards and four touchdowns in his career.
