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 PFF grades: Best and worst performers vs. Texans

Trevor Lawrence had another good day, according to PFF, but it was largely spoiled by his receiving corps.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day in Week 3 against the Houston Texans was highlighted by mistakes and errors.

Despite racking up more than 400 yards of total offense, the Jaguars offense was bogged down by a pair of turnovers, dropped passes, and untimely penalties. The Jacksonville defense and special teams blew it too with critical mistakes that led to massive plays for the Texans.

The grades at Pro Football Focus reflect a day that saw a few decent showings from Jaguars players drowned out by a ton of weak performances.

Here are the Jacksonville players who stood out and struggled most on Sunday, according to PFF:

Jaguars announce 5 team captains for 2023 season

The Jaguars’ group of 2023 team captains features a couple of tenured players who received the honor for the first time.

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced five permanent captains for the 2023 season on Tuesday. A sixth captain will be chosen by Jaguars coaches on a weekly basis.

While there were some obvious choices, like quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the team didn’t pick the same five players it did in 2022.

Defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris is a first-time captain, replacing outside linebacker Josh Allen as one of the two defensive captains. Allen previously spent three straight seasons as a Jaguars captain.

Special teams ace Andrew Wingard also earned captainship for the first time, replacing long-time punter Logan Cooke.

Here are the five Jaguars captains in 2023:

Jaguars 2023 roster review: DE Roy Robertson-Harris

The Jaguars awarded Roy Robertson-Harris with an extension after he posted career-best stats in 2022.

The brunt of the offseason is in the books and training camp is underway. Join us for a player-by-player review of the Jaguars roster ahead of the 2023 season.

After a slow start to his tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars, defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris stepped up his game in 2022.

The imposing 6’5, 290-pound veteran defensive end (with a big personality to match) recorded career highs in tackles, quarterback hits, tackles for loss, and pass deflections. He also tied his career-best sack total with three.

It was enough that the Jaguars decided to keep Robertson-Harris with a three-year extension.

The former Chicago Bears defensive lineman has found a home in Duval and doesn’t appear to be going anywhere any time soon.

Contract (2023): $1,200,000 base salary, $3,833,334 prorated signing bonus, $400,000 roster bonus, $400,000 workout bonus, $5,833,334 cap hit.

Acquired: The Jaguars signed Robertson-Harris as a veteran free agent on March 17, 2021.

PFF grades:

  • 63.9 (2022)
  • 53.0 (2021)
  • 67.0 (2020 – CHI)
  • 68.3 (2019 – CHI)
  • 72.3 (2018 – CHI)

The NFL’s All-Underrated Team: One Secret Superstar for all 32 teams

From Matt Milano to Denico Autry to Tyler Lockett to Tony Pollard, here are the NFL’s most underrated players by team.

Why are great players underrated in any sport?

There are all kinds of reasons. In football, it could be that the guy playing your position is even better than you are, and he’s been doing it longer. Maybe we only have the attention span for one great player at your position Maybe you’re on a team that doesn’t get much national praise, or you’re part of a unit that… well, stinks… and you’re one of the few bright spots. Or, you’re just getting started on the ascent, and the world hasn’t quite caught up yet.

No matter the reason, there are many NFL players who ply their trade at an exceedingly high level, and they’re not given their proper due. Here, we look to rectify this in 32 individual instances with the most underrated player for every NFL team. Some of these guys have been doing it the right way in the shade for a long time for their teams; a few are new in their uniforms.

No matter why, all 32 of these NFL players deserve more love than they get, and here’s why. Here is every NFL team’s most underrated player.

Details of 3-year extension for Roy Robertson-Harris revealed

The Jaguars gave Roy Robertson-Harris a raise for the 2023 season while cutting his cap number in half.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently making moves to retain impending free agents, inking C.J. Beathard and JaMycal Hasty to new deals and reportedly deciding to use the franchise tag on Evan Engram.

But the team also made it a priority to extend defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris, who wasn’t due to become a free agent until the 2024 offseason.

Initially reported as a three-year, $30 million extension when it was signed over the weekend, details of the contract were revealed Wednesday and they showed a deal much more in the Jaguars’ favor.

Both Spotrac and Over The Cap revealed that the contract was actually a three-year, $21.6 million extension for Robertson-Harris.

While the defensive lineman was due to count more than $10 million against the team’s salary cap in 2023, his new cap hit for the upcoming year is $5,833,334.

Still, it’s a raise for Robertson-Harris, who was previously set to take home $7.8 million in base salary and bonuses for the 2023 season, and is now set to make $9.5 million.

About two-thirds of the deal ($14.4 million) of the deal is fully guaranteed, including a $4 million option bonus due to Robertson-Harris in 2024.

While the Jaguars could save money by cutting Robertson-Harris after the 2024 or 2025 seasons, it would be minimal savings. The defensive lineman is due to count $8.9 million against the cap in 2025 and $9.1 million in 2026. The Jaguars could save $1.2 million and $3.7 million in cap space those years, respectively, by parting with Robertson-Harris.

Robertson-Harris has two addition years on his deal for the 2027 and 2028 years that will automatically void. Those extra seasons on the deal help the Jaguars spread out the bonuses for the lineman, but also mean the team will carry $3.1 million in dead money in 2027.

Another free agency target off the board as Jaguars extend DT Roy Robertson-Harris

Another one bites the dust.

The number of defensive tackles that will be available in free agency has declined rapidly over the past two days. First, the New Orleans Saints extended Tanoh Kpassagnon, and now the Jacksonville Jaguars take another one off the board as they have agreed to a new deal with Roy Robertson-Harris.

The Browns need to overhaul their defensive tackle room, and there are still plenty of discount options for them to target so they can sign multiple names instead of one big name. But they may also have to look toward the 2023 NFL Draft to get their room solidified as well.

Jaguars give three-year extension to DE Roy Robertson-Harris

Roy Robertson-Harris is staying in Jacksonville for the foreseeable future.

The Jacksonville Jaguars locked up defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris to a three-year, $30 million extension, according to a report Saturday from Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

Robertson-Harris, 29, had one season left on the three-year, $23.4 deal he signed with the Jaguars as a free agent during the 2022 offseason.

While the Jaguars are lacking in cap space to work with this offseason, the decision to spend $30 million in future money on Robertson-Harris likely saved the team cap space. The veteran defensive lineman was due to count just over $10 million against the team’s cap in 2023. By adding years to his contract, the Jaguars gave themselves the opportunity to push money into future seasons.

Robertson-Harris previously spent the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Chicago Bears after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2016. In his two seasons with the Jaguars, he has six sacks, 11 tackles for loss, and six pass deflections.

The new deal ties Robertson-Harris to the Jaguars through the 2026 season.
