The Jacksonville Jaguars had full participation at practice for the second consecutive day and only one player surface on their final injury report. That player was receiver DJ Chark Jr., who was limited all week.

Chark, who injured his ankle against the Los Angeles Chargers Week 13, began cutting and running this week. That was excellent news for the fanbase when considering he was seen leaving Week 13’s game in a boot.

With the Falcons passing defense being ranked 24rd and their offense being one of the top passing units, the Jags could use Chark desperately to help them in a battle that could get ugly if the Jags start slow.

The Jags’ Week 15 opponents, the Atlanta Falcons, only had one player to surface in the status column and it was guard James Carpenter (concussion), who was ruled out for Sunday and eventually placed on injured reserve. However, starters Julio Jones (shoulder),  Ricardo Allen (shoulder) and kicker Younghoe Koo (left foot) all will take the field Sunday.

Injury report: Jags have full participation in practice Thursday

The Jags didn’t have a single player miss practice Thursday ad veterans Brandon Linder and Calais Campbell returned to the field.

The Jacksonville Jaguars had two players to miss practice Wednesday in center Brandon Linder (knee) and defensive lineman Calais Campbell (back) but both returned to the field on a limited basis, giving the team full participation.

The injury report for Thursday overall was pretty easy to breakdown as receiver Dede Westbrook (neck/shoulder) was the lone member who was a full participant and the rest of the players listed were limited. Thursday marked his second consecutive day of fully participating and it appears he’ll do the same Friday.

Receiver DJ Chark Jr., who missed the Jags’ last game, was once again limited due to the ankle injury he sustained Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. In all probability, that’s a good sign that he may be ready to take the field Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

Quarterback Gardner Minshew II (shoulder), cornerbacks A.J. Bouye (hamstring) and D.J. Hayden (knee), offensive tackle Cam Robinson (knee), and pass-rusher Josh Allen (shoulder) were some other notables who were listed on the injury report.

On the Falcons’ end, receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) and safety Ricardo Allen remained limited just as they were Wednesday. However, kicker Younghoe Koo was upgraded too full.

Chargers vs. Jaguars: 3 causes for concern against Los Angeles

There are a lot of concerns for the Jags heading into Week 14, but the pass rushing duo of Bosa and Ingram should be atop the list.

The Jacksonville Jaguars 2019 season has been a forgettable one and most fans have been anticipating its end. The Los Angeles Chargers’ season has been equally disappointing, however, most tend to think they have a better chance to win Sunday’s game between them and the Jags.

With a 7-3 all-time record against the Jags and a better overall team than Jacksonville, there are several concerns we have here at Jags Wire for Week 14’s game. Here are three of our biggest concerns as they will look to end a four-game skid this Sunday:

The Chargers pass rushing duo of Nick Bosa and Melvin Ingram

The Jags will be up against one of the fiercest passing defenses in football as the Chargers only allow an average of 199.3 passing yards a game. That’s good for fourth in the league, which means the Jags could struggle to find guys like DJ Chark Jr. and Dede Westbrook through the air.

Part of the reason for that is because of the dynamic duo they have as pass rushers in Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa, both of whom have grades of 77.9 and 86.2, respectively, via Pro Football Focus. The two will enter Sunday’s game with a combined total of 14 sacks and will be looking to get after rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew II.

The most concerning part about going up against the Chargers pass rush is how Cam Robinson is playing at the moment as he hasn’t been overly impressive. Jawaan Taylor could also have issues against the dynamic pair as he’s had issues with penalties and leads the league in the category with 13.

This issue brings me to my next topic of concern.

3 Jaguars to watch on offense vs. Bucs

Two teams desperate for a win square off. Here are three players on offense to watch as the Jaguars square off with Tampa Bay.

This week the Jacksonville Jaguars will take the field against one of their two Floridian rivals in the Tampa Bay Bucs. Both teams will enter the game with their own respective issues and identical records of 4-7. With that being the case, the question on everyone’s mind is which struggling team will come out on top and could it inspire some confidence into these troubled franchises?

Here are three players on offense to watch as the Jaguars square off with Tampa Bay:

OT Cam Robinson

The offensive line of Jacksonville may in fact determine the fate of the game. The Bucs bring NFL sack leader Shaq Barrett and monster run-stuffer Vita Vea to face off against the ailing Jaguar front line.

Look for Cam Robinson to set the tone early. Robinson has the talent to be one of the best young tackles in the NFL, but has struggled at times this season. Him and our next entry on the list will be counted on heavily to keep Nick Foles safe and to open up lanes for running back Leonard Fournette.

The offense’s success starts and stops with the offensive line. The Jaguars are counting on Robinson to develop into their franchise tackle. A big game Sunday against one of the NFL’s best pass rushers could go a long way towards proving he is the blind side tackle of the future.

OT Jawaan Taylor

Taylor’s situation is very similar to that of Robinson. The team will be counting heavily on these two to protect Foles from the Bucs’ defensive front seven. The argument could be made that Taylor has been the Jaguars’ best offensive lineman this season, despite his struggles with holding penalties. The start to his NFL career is certainly promising and fans hope to see Taylor have success against Barrett.

According to Pro Football Focus, Jawaan Taylor is currently graded out as the second best rookie offensive tackle with a grade of 62.3. That’s certainly not bad for a player who just celebrated his 22nd birthday this past week. His pass-blocking grade of 67.2 also ranks second among all rookies.

Look for Taylor to have a big day against one of the NFL’s best. Thus far into his career, the Jaguars look to have found their future right tackle. Now it all just needs to come together.

QB Nick Foles

I’m not sure there is anyone in the NFL who needs a big game more than quarterback Nick Foles. With the memories of Minshew Mania still fresh in the minds of Jags fans, Foles’ struggles have been even more frustrating for those who have invested their time into the team.

To put it lightly, Foles’ starts since returning from collarbone surgery have been lackluster. Fans are already calling for the benching of the Jaguars 88-million dollar quarterback. If Foles is to quiet the masses, he will need to get the stagnant Jaguars’ offense rolling in a big way. Another blowout is not acceptable.

Foles has all the pieces to be successful (aside from tight end). Receiver DJ Chark Jr. has had a fantastic season and Fournette is playing some of his best ball. With such weapons, there is little excuse for the offense to get off to a slow start.

With two struggling teams with drastically different identities, which Florida team ends up on top? We’ll know that later Sunday afternoon.

Jags have close to full participation in practice Thursday

The Jags had all but two players participate in their practice session Thursday in TE Seth DeValve and Dede Westbrook.

The Jacksonville Jaguars only had two players to sit out of practice Thursday for their upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans in tight end Seth DeValve (oblique) and receiver Dede Westbrook (illness), who was a new addition to the injury report. Aside from those two every player on the injury report participated to some capacity.

Receivers D.J. Chark Jr. (hamstring) and Chris Conley (hamstring) and nickelback D.J. Hayden (hip/wrist) were the three players from Wednesday’s injury report who were upgraded from limited to full participation. Safety Ronnie Harrison (eye) and offensive tackle Cam Robinson (knee) also were full participants.

Veterans Calais Campbell (back) and Brandon Linder (shoulder) were the only two limited participants on Thursday’s report. Both were on last week’s injury reports for the same injuries but were able to play in Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.

WR DJ Chark amongst several players to surface on injury report after battle with Colts

Two of the Jags’ top receivers have found themselves on the injury report after Week 11’s loss to the Colts.

The Jacksonville Jaguars had just one player on their final injury report for Week 11 but exited the game with some new injuries to deal with. Receivers DJ Chark and Chris Conley seemingly were amongst those players who sustained injuries during the Jags’ last game against the Indianapolis Colts as both surfaced on the team’s first injury report for Week 12 with hamstring injuries. Despite their injuries, however, both players were limited.

Joining Chark and Conley as limited participants were nickelback D.J. Hayden (hip/wrist), center Brandon Linder (shoulder) and defensive lineman Calais Campbell (back). All three were on Week 11’s injury report as well, however, Hayden was on the report with a different injury (neck/shoulder).

Offensive tackle Cam Robinson (knee) and safety Ronnie Harrison (eye) were full participants Wednesday after surfacing on the injury report with the same injuries they had on Week 11’s report.

The Jags’ lone non-participant who surfaced on Wednesday’s injury report was tight end Seth DeValve (oblique), who was the only player on Week 11’s final injury report and missed last Sunday’s game.

Jaguars Week 11 injury report: TE Seth DeValve (oblique) listed as doubtful vs. Colts

The Jags will only have one player who may not suit up against the Colts in TE Seth DeValve.

With their bye week occurring last week, the Jacksonville Jaguars will be very close to 100% as they travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. However, there was one player who surfaced on the injury report and that was tight end Seth DeValve, who was ruled doubtful with an oblique injury.

DeValve was added to the injury report Thursday with safety Ronnie Harrison (eye) and was listed as limited upon his initial placement on the list.

Though it’s just one injury, DeValve’s situation could affect the Jags in a big way because it leaves them with just two tight ends in Josh Oliver and Ben Koyack. Before having their current trio, the Jags lost both James O’Shaughnessy (ACL tear) and Geoff Swaim (ankle/concussion), who were placed on injured reserve.

The Jags have rookie tight end Charles Jones on their practice squad who they could promote to the main roster. They also could sign a free-agent if they don’t feel comfortable with going into Sunday’s game with two tight ends.

On the positive side, linebackers Quincy Williams and Leon Jacobs, offensive linemen Brandon Linder and Cam Robinson, receiver Dede Westbrook, nickelback D.J. Hayden, and defensive lineman Calais Campbell will all play after being listed on Thursday’s report.

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.

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.
