Tyson Campbell out, Zay Jones questionable vs. Titans

The Jaguars ruled out two and listed four players, including Zay Jones, as questionable.

The Jacksonville Jaguars ruled out return specialist Jamal Agnew and cornerback Tyson Campbell for a Week 11 contest against the Tennessee Titans and listed another four players as questionable.

The statuses of wide receiver Zay Jones, offensive tackle Anton Harrison, defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris, and wide receiver Parker Washington are all up in the air.

Jones, who has been in the headlines this week after his Monday arrest, has been out of action since re-injuring his knee in Week 5.

With Campbell out of action, the Jaguars will turn to second-year cornerbacks Montaric Brown and Gregory Junior to fill the void. The absence of Agnew will likely mean Washington is activated from the injured reserve Saturday to take over return duties.

The Titans ruled out three players and listed two as questionable. Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting and offensive tackle Andre Dillard are the two most significant losses for Tennessee.

Dillon Radunz is expected to be the starting left tackle Sunday in Dillard’s place.

Jaguars still have 2 out, 4 limited in Thursday practice

The Jaguars didn’t make any changes to their injury report from Wednesday to Thursday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars made no updates to their injury report from Wednesday to Thursday, listing the same two players as non-participants and four players as limited ahead of a Week 11 game against the Tennessee Titans.

Return specialist and wide receiver Jamal Agnew wasn’t dressed for practice, but cornerback Tyson Campbell joined the team for stretching before leaving to work on the side.

It’d be surprising if wide receiver Zay Jones, who was limited again, is back on the field Sunday after sitting out for more than a month with a knee injury. The other three limited players seem on track to play against the Titans.

For Tennessee, there were a few updates and all in the wrong direction. Linebacker Chase Campbell was placed on injured, reserve, cornerback Anthony Kendall didn’t practice at all, and linebacker Luke Gifford was limited.

While three key players — Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, and Denico Autry — were all listed, it was just a rest day for the trio of veterans.

Jamal Agnew, Tyson Campbell sit out Wednesday practice

Two Jaguars players sat out Wednesday and four, including receiver Zay Jones, were limited.

The Jacksonville Jaguars were without return specialist Jamal Agnew and cornerback Tyson Campbell at Wednesday practice and had four players limited.

On a rainy day in Jacksonville that forced the team inside the Miller Electric Center practice facility, offensive lineman Anton Harrison, wide receiver Zay Jones, defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris, and wide receiver Parker Washington were all limited.

Jones was arrested Monday on a domestic battery charge, but was back at practice two days later as he continues to work to return from a knee injury.

Washington has been on injured reserve since suffering a knee injury in Week 4, but his 21-day window to return was opened Wednesday morning.

The Jaguars’ Week 11 opponent, the Tennessee Titans, listed 11 players on their injury report, although that included six who practiced fully.

The Titans’ offensive line has been banged up for much of the year and is now hoping starting left tackle Andre Dillard will return from a concussion suffered in Week 10. Wide receiver Treylon Burks missed the team’s last game due to a concussion.

Jaguars open WR Parker Washington’s 21-day window to return from IR

With Jamal Agnew injured, the Jaguars will begin working Parker Washington back into the mix.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will begin working rookie wide receiver and returner Parker Washington back into the mix after activating his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve, the team announced Wednesday.

Washington, 21, was a healthy scratch for the first three games of the year before stepping into the lineup in Week 4 when Jamal Agnew was out due to injury. Washington’s NFL debut didn’t last long as he suffered a knee injury on his second career snap that sent him to the IR.

While the Jaguars have until early December to move Washington to the active roster, that move may come much sooner than that.

Agnew suffered a shoulder injury Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers and coach Doug Pederson wasn’t optimistic about the veteran’s chances of playing in the Jaguars’ upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11.

“There’s a potential that as the week progresses, we’ll see where he’s at, but it doesn’t look promising right now on a Monday,” Pederson said. “We’ll see where he is during the course of the week.”

It’s likely that Washington has been healed up and ready for a return for a while. There just wasn’t much urgency from the Jaguars to make a roster move when it’d mean the rookie would take one of 53 spots on the active roster and likely be a healthy scratch on game days.

Don’t be surprised if Washington is moved to the active roster later this week, making him available as the team’s returner Sunday against the Titans.

Jamal Agnew shoulder injury ‘doesn’t look promising’ for Week 11

Doug Pederson doesn’t like Jamal Agnew’s chances at playing Sunday against the Titans.

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson doesn’t like return specialist Jamal Agnew’s chances at playing Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

“Jamal fell on his shoulder in the game [vs. the San Francisco 49ers], so he’s got a little shoulder issue going on,” Pederson said Monday. “There’s a potential that as the week progresses, we’ll see where he’s at. But it doesn’t look promising right now on a Monday. We’ll see where he is during the course of the week.”

Agnew, 28, was injured on a first quarter kickoff return and was initially ruled questionable, but never came back into the game. Running back D’Ernest Johnson returned kicks for the remainder of the game and wide receiver Christian Kirk returned punts.

The Jaguars began the year with rookie Parker Washington listed as the backup returner, but the sixth-round pick landed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury in his NFL debut. Since then, Agnew has been the sole returner listed on the depth chart.

It’s unclear for now if the Jaguars would stick with the combination of Johnson and Kirk if Agnew is unavailable Sunday against the Titans.

Agnew has averaged 27.7 yards on seven kick returns this season and 10.6 yards per punt return.

Jaguars place rookie WR Parker Washington on injured reserve

Parker Washington will be out of action for at least four weeks due to a knee injury suffered against the Falcons.

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed rookie wide receiver Parker Washington on the injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.

Washington, 21, was a sixth-round pick in April and was listed as the team’s backup returner behind Jamal Agnew on the depth chart. With Agnew out of action in Week 4, the rookie receiver was active for the first time in his career. His NFL debut lasted just a couple snaps before Washington suffered a knee injury on his first career punt return.

“It’s a little more significant with the knee,” Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said of Washington’s injury Monday. “He’ll undergo further testing today and tomorrow to get some more images on it. I would expect him not to be available this week.”

Washington didn’t immediately land on the injured reserve, suggesting that imaging of the knee didn’t reveal severe damage. But after the receiver was ruled out Friday, the team is shutting him down for at least four games.

When Agnew was in the lineup in the first three weeks, Washington was a healthy scratch. Agnew is expected to be available in Week 5 and Christian Kirk will likely be the team’s backup returner.

Zay Jones, Jamal Agnew expected to make return vs. Bills

Trevor Lawrence is expected to have his wide receiver corps back in tact Sunday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars expect to have their full bevy of wide receivers Sunday for a Week 5 matchup against the Buffalo Bills in London.

Zay Jones, who suffered a knee injury in Week 2, and Jamal Agnew, who was out last week due to a quad injury, should be available Sunday, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson told reporters Friday.

“Both of those guys have had a really good week of preparation and practice,” Pederson said of Jones and Agnew. “Right now, [I’m] optimistic that they’ll play in this game.”

Pederson later expanded on the progress made by jones, specifically.

“I think Zay will be a go,” Pederson said. “He had a good week, barring anything coming out of today’s practice with treatments later on, hopefully no setbacks, knock on wood. He should be fine.”

Without Jones in the lineup, the Jaguars pulled veteran receiver Jacob Harris up from the practice squad in the last two weeks and relied on Tim Jones to take on a bigger offensive workload. The absence of Zay Jones was felt, though, and Tim Jones recorded only three receptions for 10 yards.

The return of Agnew is important too after backup returner Parker Washington suffered a knee injury on his first career touch.

Parker Washington injury ‘little more significant,’ says Doug Pederson

Jaguars rookie Parker Washington suffered a knee injury on his first career NFL snap.

Jacksonville Jaguars sixth-round rookie Parker Washington made his NFL debut Sunday, but it lasted just one play. On his first career snap, the receiver and return specialist suffered a knee injury that will keep him out of action for a while.

“Parker will probably be out this week, it’s a little more significant with the knee,” Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Monday. “He’ll undergo further testing today and tomorrow to get some more images on it. I would expect him not to be available this week.”

Washington, 21, was a healthy scratch in the first three weeks of the season. He was moved into the lineup Sunday due to an quad injury suffered by return specialist Jamal Agnew that kept the veteran out. The good news for the Jaguars is that coach Doug Pederson says Agnew has a strong chance of being ready for a Week 5 game against the Buffalo Bills.

“Agnew is doing extremely well,” Pederson said. “We’ll incorporate him back into practice on Wednesday on a limited basis and see where he is, he’s kind of day-to-day right now, but we’re optimistic.”

On his only snap Sunday, Washington fielded a 61-yard punt from the Atlanta Falcons and returned it five yards.

Agnew, 28, was a Pro Bowl returner last season and has 63 yards on four punt returns so far in 2023.

Jamal Agnew inactive for Jaguars, Cordarrelle Patterson active

With Jamal Agnew ruled out, sixth-round rookie Parker Washington is set to make his NFL debut.

Wide receiver and return specialist Jamal Agnew is inactive Sunday with a quad injury, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced Sunday. Making his NFL debut and presumably taking over kick and punt return duties will be sixth-round rookie Parker Washington.

On Friday, the Jaguars ruled out three players — Zay Jones, Devin Lloyd, and Antonio Johnson — and listed Agnew as questionable. The fifth inactive player for Jacksonville is rookie wide receiver Elijah Cooks, who has now been a healthy scratch in each of the first four weeks.

For the Atlanta Falcons, the most notable news from the list of inactives is a player who wasn’t listed: Cordarrelle Patterson.

Patterson led Atlanta in touchdowns last season with eight (all rushing), but missed the first three games of 2023 with a thigh injury. The Falcons officially list the wide receiver/running back as a “Joker” in their offense.

Wide receiver Josh Ali is the only player for the Falcons who is missing the game Sunday due to an injury.
