Jaguars vs. Colts inactives: JaMycal Hasty, Parker Washington out

Five of the six Jaguars players listed as inactive Sunday against the Colts are rookies.

The Jacksonville Jaguars listed six players as inactive ahead of a 1 p.m. ET kickoff against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

There were no surprises on the list as rookies Antonio Johnson and Tyler Lacy were already ruled out on the Friday injury report. The rest of the list was also comprised mostly of rookies:

The only veteran who is inactive for the Jaguars in running back JaMycal Hasty, who was replaced in the third spot on the depth chart by free agent signee D’Ernest Johnson.

Jacksonville kept seven wide receivers on the 53-man roster after preseason, but will roll into Sunday with five after sitting down rookies Parker Washington and Elijah Cooks.

For the Colts, the big news on their list of inactives is that running back Zack Moss is officially out of action in Week 1.

Moss, who is recovering from a broken arm, was listed as questionable Friday, but downgraded to doubtful Saturday. With Jonathan Taylor also out of action, the Colts are expected to start third-year running back Deon Jackson.

2 ruled out, 1 questionable in Colts vs. Jaguars

These are the players with injury designations ahead of the Week 1 matchup.

The Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars will be facing off Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium to get the 2023 season underway.

After releasing their final injury reports ahead of the Week 1 matchup, both teams have relatively low injury concerns. The Colts may be without one of their running backs while defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was added to the injury report without a designation so he’s expected to play.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars will be without a pair of their depth defenders going into the divisional matchup.

Here are the players with injury designations heading into Week 1:

Jaguars rule out Antonio Johnson, Tyler Lacy vs. Colts

Jaguars rookies Antonio Johnson and Tyler Lacy won’t make their regular season debut Sunday against the Colts.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookies Antonio Johnson and Tyler Lacy won’t be making their NFL debuts against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Both players were officially ruled out Friday when the team released its final injury report. Every other player on the Jaguars’ roster is good to go for the Week 1 opener in Indianapolis.

Johnson didn’t practice at all this week while he works his way back from a hamstring problem that Doug Pederson says could take a little bit longer to go away. Lacy was a limited participant all week, but isn’t quite ready to play.

Neither player was likely to see many snaps Sunday even if they were healthy and ready to play. Johnson is listed as the third-string free safety and Lacy is a second-team defensive end. Both will likely play special teams when they return to action.

As for the Colts, defensive lineman DeForest Buckner was a surprise addition to the report due to a forearm injury. However, Indianapolis said he’s a full go for Sunday against the Jaguars.

Running back Zack Moss is the only questionable player for the Colts. If he can’t play Sunday, Deon Jackson would be in line to start for Indianapolis.

Jaguars DE Tyler Lacy still limited in Thursday practice

The Jaguars and Colts made no injury report changes Thursday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts made no changes from their Wednesday injury reports, listing the same two players each on Thursday.

For the Jaguars, rookie safety Antonio Johnson was still out of action due to a nagging hamstring problem while rookie defensive lineman Tyler Lacy was limited again due to a hip injury.

Earlier this week, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said that Johnson is still a “week or two away” from being cleared to make his debut. There was more optimism about Lacy’s return, but he hasn’t yet participated in a full practice since suffering his injury.

The Colts again listed veterans Zack Moss and Shaquille Leonard on their injury report, although the latter has cleared the concussion protocol and appears set to play Sunday against Jacksonville.

If Moss is unable to play against the Jaguars due to his broken arm, third-year running back Deon Jackson would be in line to get the start Sunday.

Jaguars S Antonio Johnson sits out Wednesday practice

The Jaguars and Colts listed two players each on their Wednesday injury reports.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookies Tyler Lacy and Antonio Johnson were the only two players who didn’t participate fully in practice Wednesday, the team announced.

Lacy was limited as he works himself back from a hip injury, while Johnson was out entirely due to his hamstring.

“Antonio is still kind of a week or two away, he’s still a little further away,” Pederson told reporters Wednesday. “Tyler is another one that we’re going to get him back out there and see where he’s at and just monitor him through the first half of practice.”

The good news for the Jaguars is that defensive lineman Folorunso Fatukasi, who missed time in August due to a heel injury, and offensive lineman Tyler Shatley, who had an incident of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) in camp, were both cleared to participate fully Wednesday.

The Jaguars’ Week 1 opponent, the Indianapolis Colts, also listed just two players on their injury report.

With Jonathan Taylor out of action on the PUP list, running back Zack Moss may be the team’s starting running back Sunday despite dealing with a broken arm.

Doug Pederson: Jaguars DE Tyler Lacy ‘has really emerged’

Doug Pederson is pleased with the progress fourth-round pick Tyler Lacy is making in training camp and preseason.

The Jacksonville Jaguars defensive line may be in a tough spot with DaVon Hamilton recovering from a “non-football related medical issue” in his back. The good news, though, is that rookie defensive lineman Tyler Lacy may be able to pick up some of the lack.

“I think Tyler Lacy is another one that has really emerged,” Jaguars coach Doug Pederson told reporters Monday morning. “He played well in the [preseason] game [against the Detroit Lions], he continues to get better right there. … I think [Jeremiah] Ledbetter and [Adam] Gotsis, the combination of those two and possibly Tyler Lacy is a good combination to fill in [for Hamilton].”

Lacy, who was drafted with the No. 130 overall pick in the fourth round this April, had a relatively quiet start to his first camp with the Jaguars. On Saturday, PFF credited him with three defensive stops, second most on the team behind only Ledbetter.

Barring additional defensive line injuries, Lacy isn’t likely to see a ton of snaps as a rookie. But Pederson’s comments certainly suggest that the Oklahoma State alum’s spot on the 53-man roster is secure.

Jaguars 2023 roster review: DE Tyler Lacy

The Jaguars added some much-needed defensive line depth in the 2023 NFL draft when they picked Tyler Lacy.

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.

Defensive line depth looked to be a pressing concern heading into the 2022 season for the Jacksonville Jaguars, especially after they briefly parted with Adam Gotsis after preseason.

While Folorunso Fatukasi briefly missed time with a quad injury, the depth didn’t prove to be much of an issue. Still, the Jaguars stocked up on linemen in the offseason, signing Henry Mondeaux and Michael Dogbe in free agency and picking Tyler Lacy in the 2023 NFL draft.

Lacy, 23, was a slow and steady development at Oklahoma State. He started all four seasons he played with the Cowboys and made clear improvements each year. In Jacksonville, he’ll have time to do the same behind plenty of veterans.

Contract (2023): $750,000 base salary, $171,781 prorated signing bonus, $921,781 cap hit.

Acquired: The Jaguars picked Lacy with the No. 130 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL draft.

PFF grades:

  • 81.1 (2022 – OKST)
  • 77.5 (2021 – OKST)
  • 65.0 (2020 – OKST)
  • 57.5 (2019 – OKST)

Highlight:

Quote: “He’s a good football player, and one that still has not reached his full potential yet. I think Tyler still has a little bit of room to grow in terms of his ceiling of being a football player. It has been fun watching Tyler mature as a person and a player during his time at Oklahoma State.” – OSU defensive coordinator Joe Bob Clements on Lacy

Jaguars 2023 draft: Projected contract for each Jacksonville pick

The contract for each player picked by the Jaguars in the 2023 NFL draft has largely been predetermined by the CBA.

The Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly reached an agreement on a four-year deal with sixth-round wide receiver Parker Washington on Thursday, but that still leaves another 12 draft picks to sign.

While that may sound like a costly endeavor, the total cost of the signings shouldn’t be much. The collective sum of the 2023 cap hits for the Jaguars’ picks will exceed 10 million, but the NFL only requires teams to fit their top 51 contracts under the salary cap (as fitting 90 under the cap in the offseason would be unrealistic).

With a rookie wage scale in place and the Jaguars not picking in the top 10 for the first time in a while, the total cost of a baker’s dozen of rookie contracts isn’t much.

Here are what the 13 draftees are likely to get when they finalize their deals with the Jaguars:

Introducing the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2023 NFL Draft class

Get to know the 13 players drafted by the Jaguars this year.

The 2023 NFL draft is in the books and the Jacksonville Jaguars added their biggest class ever.

With 13 players — 10 of which came on Day 3 — the Jaguars have a ton of rookies competing for spots on a mostly intact roster that won the AFC South in 2022.

While experts largely predicted that the Jaguars would target defensive backs and pass rushers early, the team instead spent its first three picks on offensive players.

Here’s the baker’s dozen of draftees and links to learn more about each of them:

5 things to know about new Jaguars DL Tyler Lacy

Who is Jaguars fourth-round pick Tyler Lacy?

The fifth of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 13 draft picks this year was Oklahoma State defensive lineman Tyler Lacy.

Lacy, the No. 130 overall selection in the fourth round, is a player the Jaguars kept a close eye on in the lead up to the draft. He made a private visit to TIAA Bank Field in the weeks before he was picked by the team.

As part of Jacksonville’s defense, Lacy will likely slot in as a defensive end with the ability to play tackle in four-man fronts.

Here are five things to know about Lacy, the Jaguars’ second of two fourth-round selections:
