Jaguars nominate Calais Campbell for 2019 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award

Calais Campbell earned his second consecutive nomination for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award Thursday.

It’s that time of the year where each of the NFL’s 32 teams selects a nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, and just as they did last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars have elected to go with team captain Calais Campbell.

The award, of course, is named after the late Art Rooney Sr., who was the founding owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and is a Pro Football Hall-of-Famer in Canton. The award has existed since 2014 and is given to a player who shows exemplary sportsmanship qualities on the field annually.

Last season, Campbell was named one of eight semifinalists for the award which ultimately went to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Some of the notables who joined him in the process were quarterback Andrew Luck (Colts), defensive backs Eric Weddle (Ravens) and Tramon Williams (Packers) to name a few.

The winner will be announced at the NFL Honors show which will air on Fox on Saturday, Feb. 1. The winner will also be awarded a $25,000 donation to the charity of the players choice.

Jags add Ronnie Harrison, Seth DeValve to injury report but still have full participation

The Jags had full participation in practice Thursday, but added Ronnie Harrison and Seth DeValve to their injury report (vs. Colts).

Just as they did Wednesday, the Jacksonville Jaguars had full participation Thursday as the team continued to prepare for the Indianapolis Colts. However, there were two new additions to the report in safety Ronnie Harrison (eye) and tight end Seth DeValve (oblique), both of whom were limited.

Defensive lineman Calais Campbell (back), offensive tackle Cam Robinson (knee) and center Brandon Linder (shoulder) remained limited participants just as they did Wednesday. However, with the final injury report set to be released Friday, it’s possible all three could be upgraded Friday as their two days of limited participation might be a good sign for game day.

Receiver Dede Westbrook and nickelback D.J. Hayden remained full participants with their neck/shoulder injuries, which is a sign that they won’t miss Week 11’s game as they did Week 9 against the Houston Texans.

Linebackers Quincy Williams and Leon Jacobs also remained full participants with their respective hamstring injuries.

Jags list 3 players as limited on initial injury report for Week 11

The Jacksonville Jaguars released their first injury report since returning from their bye week Wednesday and every player participated in practice. However, there were three players who were limited in defensive lineman Calais Campbell, center Brandon Linder (shoulder) and offensive tackle Cam Robinson (knee).

Wednesday marked the first time in which Linder and Campbell surfaced on the injury report for their respective injuries, but both  could be precautionary measures. As for Robinson, he was sideline for half of the preseason after recovering from a left ACL tear from 2018. He also hyper-extended his right knee in early September, however, with him being limited it appears the injury he’s listed for isn’t severe.

Receiver Dede Westbrook and nickelback D.J. Hayden were full participants Wednesday with neck/shoulder injuries. Meanwhile, linebackers Leon Jacobs and Quincy Williams also had the same status with hamstring injuries.

4 Jaguars the Colts must game plan for in Week 11

Watch out for the these Jaguars in Week 11.

After last week’s embarrassing loss to the Miami Dolphins at home, the Indianapolis Colts desperately need a rebound on Sunday when the Jaguars visit Lucas Oil Stadium. This is the first time these two teams meet this season.

The Jaguars will be going through a quarterback change this week as Nick Foles will be making his first start since he broke his collarbone Week 1 against Kansas City. Gardner Minshew has held down the fort but has ultimately struggled in recent weeks.

The offense will look different with Foles under center no doubt, but the way this season has gone anything can happen. Outside of the quarterback position, there are plenty of talented players on Jacksonville’s roster.

Here are four Jaguars the Colts must game plan to win in Week 11:

RB Leonard Fournette

The Colts have been getting better in run defense, but Fournette may be one of the better backs the Colts get to face this season. Averaging 4.8 yards per carry, he is a tough, downhill runner who can not be brought down with arm tackles.

Fournette has 831 yards on the year but only has gotten in the end zone once. The Jaguars struggle in the red zone and rarely turn to their running back in key third-down situations. Regardless, the Colts front seven must be able to stop Fournette if they want to pick up a win. By stopping him, the rest of their offensive scheme will suffer.

2020 Pro Bowl: Voting is now live for your favorite Jaguars

Jags fans can now vote for their favorite players to make the Pro Bowl.

As of Tuesday Nov. 12, Jacksonville Jaguars fans can now vote for their favorite players to be named to the 2020 Pro Bowl.

Just as they did last season players, coaches, and fans will all have a say in what players are voted into the Pro Bowl as each party will represent one-third of the voting process. Both the National Football Conference and American Football Conference will name 44 total players to their respective rosters and fan voting will end in exactly a month (Dec. 12). Afterward, the players who are nominated will be announced on NFL Network on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 8 p.m. EST.

While the Jags haven’t quite had the season they were hoping for, they have several players worthy of making the AFC roster. Before their bye week, running back Leonard Fournette was the AFC’s leading rusher with 831 yards, while DJ Chark was previously the AFC’s leading receiver with 692 yards.

On the defensive side, Calais Campbell has continued to defy his age as Pro Football Focus has him graded as the league’s second-best interior defender (91.5). Meanwhile, his comrades Yannick Ngakoue and rookie Josh Allen have been quite the pass-rushing duo, with four and seven sacks, respectively.

Lastly, place kicker Josh Lambo has absolutely been money, going 22-of-22 on his field goal attempts. He has more attempts than any other kicker who is 100 percent in the category, which makes a strong case for him to be considered the league’s best.

The Pro Bowl will take place just south of Jacksonville in Orlando, Fla., so fans of the Jags will be just two hours away. The game will take place on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020 at Camping World Stadium at 3 p.m. EST via ESPN, ESPN Deportes, ABC and Disney XD.

For those who want to purchase tickets, pricing starts at $45 and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.
