The Jacksonville Jaguars ruled out running back James Robinson (ankle) and receiver Collin Johnson (hamstring) on Friday’s final injury report but made it official by listing both on Sunday’s list of inactives. The two were listed with quarterback Jake Luton, cornerback Luq Barcoo, linebacker Quincy Williams, tight end Tyler Davis, and defensive lineman Caraun Reid for Sunday’s game against Chicago.
7 players are inactive today against the Bears:
6 QB Jake Luton
19 WR Collin Johnson
30 RB James Robinson

56 LB Quincy Williams
87 TE Tyler Davis

With Johnson out, the Jags will have four receivers on the active roster in D.J. Chark Jr., Chris Conley, Laviska Shenault Jr., and Keelan Cole.
Robinson’s absence, on the other hand, is one that will be a little more significant as he’s their biggest source of offense. With him out, the Jags will likely let Devin Ozigbo and Dare Ogunbowale handle most of Robinson’s carries. The team also has Craig Reynolds, rookie Nathan Cottrell, and fullback Bruce Miller on the roster to help out at the tailback position.
Of the group of available running backs, it seems as if Ozigbo would be the one to get the start as he’s been with the team since last year. If he gets the nod, Sunday would mark his first career start.
