Jaguars rule out DL Foley Fatukasi vs. Texans, WR Zay Jones questionable

The Jaguars will be without a run stuffer on defense, but are expected to have wide receiver Zay Jones back in action Sunday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without defensive lineman Folorunso Fatukasi due to a quadriceps injury when they host the Houston Texans in Week 5.

Fatukasi, 27, was ruled out Friday after missing all three practices this week. Also on the injury report were wide receiver Zay Jones, outside linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson, and offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen, who are all listed as questionable for Sunday.

Earlier on Friday, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson told reporters that all three of the team’s questionable players are “good” and singled out Jones as someone who is feeling “fine” and is expected to be back in action this week.

“He brings his leadership, a level of toughness with him, physicality with him, you do miss a little bit of the speed factor and burst down the field (when he is not able to play) with him,” Pederson said of Jones. “He’s that type of receiver, and it’s been another nice little, not security blanket but that type of player for Trevor [Lawrence].”

The Texans ruled out four players Friday and listed defensive lineman Jonathan Greenard and linebacker Jake Hansen as questionable.

According to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network, Greenard is “trending toward playing Sunday.”
