Two of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ inactives for Week 6’s game against the Miami Dolphins were already known as linebacker Myles Jack and offensive lineman Rashaad Coward didn’t travel with the team to London. However, the other five players who will be inactive have been revealed.
Joining Jack and Coward will be notables kicker Josh Lambo, receiver Tyron Johnson, defensive lineman Taven Bryan, and cornerback Tyson Campbell.
Lambo will be inactive for his third straight game, dating back to Week 4’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Replacing him, of course, will be Matthew Wright, who was signed off the practice squad Saturday.
Johnson will be inactive for the first time this season. He joined the Jags after they made their final cuts as a waiver claim, but he’s not as familiar with the playbook as others are for that reason and hasn’t been able to get going just yet.
As for Bryan, the decision to make him inactive comes as veteran defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris is returning from an ankle injury that sidelined him for multiple weeks. Also, rookie lineman Jay Tufele played well in his rookie debut last week, acquiring a Pro Football Focus grade of 72.4 and a pass-rush grade of 91.1. As a result, it’s possible the Jags staff feels that he’s earned more snaps over Bryan.
Lastly, Campbell is dealing with a toe injury. On Friday, he was labeled a game-time decision as he surfaced as questionable on the final injury report.
Rookie pass-rusher Jordan Smith was also listed with the aforementioned inactives. After being taken in the fourth-round of April’s draft, he has yet to be active this regular season.
The following players will be inactive for the Jaguars in today’s game:
4 K Josh Lambo
12 WR Tyron Johnson
32 CB Tyson Campbell
44 LB Myles Jack
67 OL Rashaad Coward
92 DE/OLB Jordan Smith
93 DL Taven Bryan— JaguarsPR (@JaguarsPR) October 17, 2021
The Dolphins already announced that they would be without starting cornerback Xavien Howard and receiver DeVante Parker. However, on Sunday morning, it was revealed that receiver Preston Williams would also miss the game after starting last week.
