The Jacksonville Jaguars play host to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in a head-to-head matchup between two 0-1 clubs desperate for a Week 2 win.
Both teams updated their injury reports Thursday, with the Jaguars showing five players including three additions, while the Browns’ list was much longer and included their one of their stars.
Jacksonville Jaguars
- S Daniel Thomas (achilles)- LIMITED
- OL Cam Robinson (knee) – LIMITED
- S Darnell Savage (quad) – DID NOT PARTICIPATE
- LB Caleb Johnson (back) – LIMITED
- DT Tyler Lacy (toe) – LIMITED
Analysis: Offensive lineman Cam Robinson and safety Daniel Thomas were listed as limited on Thursday, and their statuses were unchanged from Wednesday.
Despite Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson’s optimism about a potential return to action last week, Thomas continues to deal with a nagging Achilles injury, while Robinson’s knee began bothering him this week.
Safety Darnell Savage Jr., who did not participate on Thursday due to a quad injury, headlines the additions to Jacksonville’s list.
If Savage can’t go Sunday, the Jaguars would have more decisions to make in the secondary after placing cornerback Tyson Campbell on injured reserve Thursday.
Expect third-year cornerback Montaric Brown and rookies, Jarrian Jones and De’Antre Prince, to step up with Campbell sidelined. Jones would be a likely candidate to play nickel cornerback if Savage is ruled out.
Rotational defensive lineman Tyler Lacy was limited Thursday with a toe issue. Another depth player and special teamer, linebacker Caleb Johnson, was limited Thursday with a back injury.
Cleveland Browns
- WR Jerry Jeudy (knee) – FULL
- TE David Njoku (ankle) -DID NOT PARTICIPATE

- DE Za’Darius Smith (back) – DID NOT PARTICIPATE

Analysis: After missing Wednesday, Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Willis returned to practice in a limited capacity ahead of Sunday’s contest.
The Browns could be in trouble at defensive end with injuries ravaging the room. New additions to Thursday’s report: Myles Garrett (foot) and Za’Darius Smith (back) did not participate on Thursday.
Two other Browns’ defensive linemen, Alex Wright and Dalvin Tomlinson, also appeared on the latest injury report as limited with elbow and knee injuries, respectively.
According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, Garrett’s injury “doesn’t seem concerning.”
