Jaguars inactives: 2 key players to miss season finale

The Jaguars will be without these two veteran leaders as it was announced that both players will be inactive against the Colts Week 17.

In a season filled with adversity and inconsistency, Leonard Fournette and AJ Bouye have been two of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ most reliable players. Unfortunately, the Jaguars will be without these two veteran leaders as it was announced that both players will be inactive against the Indianapolis Colts Week 17.

Fournette, a player often criticized for his injury history, played in 15 regular season games and one could argue he has been the team’s MVP in 2019. The former fourth overall pick has galloped on his way to 1,152 yards rushing as well as 522 yards receiving, both career highs for the young halfback. He has become the team’s best playmaker over the course of the year. However, he announced that he came down with the flu Saturday, which means Ryquell Armstead will start in his place.

Bouye has had quite the season. Early on fans were expecting him to be a cap casualty because of Jalen Ramsey needing a contract extension. That, of course, wouldn’t be the case as Ramsey was dealt to the Los Angeles Rams, catapulting Bouye to the Jags No. 1 corner spot. Overall, the former All-Pro has performed well, covering opposing team’s best receivers. Unfortunately, the team will be without him in their last game of the season as Bouye has been dealing with a wrist injury.

Both injuries definitely don’t help the Jaguars’ cause as they will could surpass their 2018 win total with a win. Still, in a divisional game, crazy things can happen as we’ve already witnessed with the Miami Dolphins upsetting the New England Patriots Week 17.

As for the Colts, here are their inactives for the season finale matchup.

DJ Chark ruled questionable vs. Falcons

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 …

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.

Their full injury report can be seen here.

WR D.J. Chark ruled out vs. Raiders on Week 15’s final injury report

The Jags will be without one player Sunday: receiver DJ Chark (ankle). Per Doug Marrone he’ll remain home and continue to recover.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without just one player Sunday against the Oakland Raiders, but it will be one of their top stars. Receiver DJ Chark Jr. was ruled out and will remain in Jacksonville to continue his recovery from the ankle injury he sustained against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Jags were already viewed as 6.5-point underdogs earlier in the week and not having their top receiver, and one who is one of the best in football, will make things harder. Add in the fact that the Jags will be in a very hostile environment due to the Raiders playing in their last game at RingCentral Coliseum (a.k.a. Oakland Coliseum), and most fans will have an even harder time believing in the Jags Week 15.

The Raiders’ final injury report had both offensive lineman Trent Brown and cornerback Daryl Worley ruled as questionable for Sunday’s game.
