Despite the Jacksonville Jaguars being down 16-3, their pass rush has been strong. Unfortunately, a key member for the unit may not return after the half though.
Rookie pass rusher Josh Allen was helped off the field in the second after sustaining a shoulder (stinger) injury. The injury was a result of friendly fire as fellow pass-rusher Calais Campbell accidentally kneed him in the shoulder.

Allen was having a great game, racking up two tackles. One of those tackles were a sack, putting him at 10 on the year, and the other was a tackle for loss. With the sack, he became one of six players to have double-digit sacks as a rookie since 2010.
With the game currently at half-time, we’ll provide an update on Allen’s status when the third quarter starts.
