As expected, Jacksonville Jaguars safety Ronnie Harrison will be good to take the field for Week 15’s game against the Oakland Raiders after missing the team’s last two games. Doug Marrone told the media that the second-year safety cleared the concussion protocol in Monday’s conference call, which is a big positive as the Jags’ defense struggled in the backfield Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Marrone also provided an update on receiver DJ Chark, who was seen leaving the locker room in a boot and on a scooter after sustaining an injury Sunday against the Chargers.
Jaguars WR DJ Chark (ankle) will be week-to-week, coach Doug Marrone says. Also, S Ronnie Harrison cleared the concussion protocol and should be back this week.

Harrison sustained his injury in the first quarter of the Jags’ Week 12’s game against the Tennessee Titans after making a tackle on tight end MyCole Pruitt. As a result of the injury, the Jags thrusted Andrew Wingard into Harrison’s role, giving the undrafted rookie two starts.
Chark, on the other hand, sustained his injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Chargers while defensive back Jaylen Watkins was making a tackle on him. In the process of trying to get extra yardage and fight through the tackle, Chark seemingly injured his ankle and was helped to the locker room after being ruled questionable on the night.
