The Jaguars could catch the Colts without their best offensive line in Quenton Nelson

Another player who is dealing with an injury on the Colts’ roster is arguably their best player in offensive guard Quenton Nelson. The second-year player is currently in the concussion protocol, and if he can’t play, that would be huge for the Jags.

The Jags have a lot of issues with their current roster, and stopping the run may be atop the list. In their last meeting, the Colts embarrassed the Jags on the ground, accumulating 264 rushing yards on the day thanks to Jonathan Williams and Marlon Mack, both of whom had over 100 yards rushing and averaged over 7.7 yards per carry.

None of that would’ve been possible without Nelson, who is already one of the top guards in football just two years into his career. Without him, maybe the Jags can penetrate the line of scrimmage and slow down the Colts’ rushing attack, which is averaging 133.2 rushing yards a game and is the league’s No. 4 rushing attack.
