The Jacksonville Jaguars only had three players to miss practice Thursday as the team inches closer to their season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. Those players were tight ends James O’Shaughnessy (veteran day off) and Tyler Davis (knee), and defensive end Adam Gotsis (veteran day off).
Rookie cornerback Josiah Scott (shoulder) also surfaced on the report as a new addition, but was a full participant.
With Davis being the only player in jeopardy of missing Sunday’s game the Jags seem to be in good shape. The only concern some might have is entering Week 1’s game with just two tight ends in O’Shaughnessy and Tyler Eifert, both of whom have had injury concerns in the past.
One thing worth noting is that the Jags have fullback Bruce Miller on the roster, who can also take on some duties at tight end if needed. The Jags also have tight ends Ben Ellefson and Matt Flanagan on practice squad if needed.
Running back Devine Ozigbo was also listed on the injury report, however, we’ve already reported that he was sent to injured reserve. To fill his spot on the roster the Jags signed former Tampa Bay Bucs running back Dare Ogunbowale.
