The Jacksonville Jaguars had nine players to surface on their initial injury report for Week 15’s game against the Oakland Raiders, but only three didn’t practice. Those three players were receiver DJ Chark Jr. (ankle), defensive lineman Calais Campbell (back) and center Brandon Linder (knee).
The staff has routinely been careful with Campbell and Linder throughout the year, so their situations were expected. Chark, on the other hand, isn’t a surprise either when considering he left the locker room Sunday with a boot and scooter.
Chark sustained his ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers when defensive back Jaylen Watkins was making a tackle on him. In the process of trying to break free for extra yards, Chark injured his ankle and was eventually taken to the medical room of TIAA Bank Field.
The Jags had three players who were limited Wednesday in receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder), cornerback Tre Herndon (shoulder) and linebacker Quincy Williams (hand). As we reported earlier, Williams was eventually placed on injured reserve and the Jags claimed linebacker Preston Brown off waivers to fill his vacant roster spot.
Tight end Seth DeValve, who has been sidelined by an oblique injury since the Jags returned from their bye week, practiced in full Wednesday and looks to be on track to make his return. Cornerback A.J. Bouye (calf) and safety Ronnie Harrison (concussion) joined him as full participants.
The notable name of the day on the Raiders’ injury report was rookie tailback Josh Jacobs (shoulder). He was limited Wednesday after missing the Raiders’ last game against the Tennessee Titans and is expected to play against the Jags.
The rest of Oakland’s injury report for Wednesday is as follows:
