Jaguars rule LB out vs. Lions

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a late addition to their Week 11 injury report and will be without linebacker Yasir Abdullah against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, the club announced on Saturday.

Abdullah will not travel with the Jaguars to Detroit as he nurses a hamstring injury.

Jacksonville’s fifth-round, No. 136 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, Abdullah has emerged as a key special teamer and carved out a role in the Jaguars’ linebacker rotation this season after playing minimally as a rookie.

Abdullah has logged 17 total tackles, of which three were recorded on special teams, in nine games this season.

The Jaguars officially ruled quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Tank Bigsby out against the Lions on Friday. Jacksonville also deemed running back Keilan Robinson, left guard Ezra Cleveland and defensive lineman Maason Smith questionable for the game.

Jacksonville vs. Detroit will kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, at Ford Field.
