Doug Pederson believes one Jaguar won’t practice Monday

The Jaguars appear to be inching closer to full health across their active roster.

Following Jacksonville’s Week 12 bye, head coach Doug Pederson believes only one player will not practice with the Jaguars on Monday, backup linebacker and special teamer Yasir Abdullah, who missed Week 11 against the Detroit Lions with a hamstring injury.

“Probably Yasir is the only one still that’s out. But everybody else should practice,” Pederson said on Monday.

Abdullah has logged 17 total tackles this season.

In addition to Abdullah, who was a late scratch, three players listed on Jacksonville’s 12-active-player injury report from Week 11 did not play: Quarterback Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder), running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) and rookie defensive tackle Maason Smith (ankle).

Smith was a limited practice participant throughout Week 11; Lawrence and Bigsby were sidelined daily.

Pederson noted Lawrence, who has missed Jacksonville’s last two games, will be monitored in practice throughout the week before the Jaguars determine his status for Week 13.

Jacksonville will practice Monday, Wednesday and Friday ahead of its Sunday, Week 13 home matchup with the Houston Texans, an altered schedule with Thanksgiving on Thursday.
