Zay Jones, Foley Fatukasi sit out Wednesday practice

The Jaguars were missing four players when they hit the practice field Wednesday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars had four players out of practice Wednesday, including wide receiver Zay Jones and defensive lineman Folorunso Fatukasi.

Jones, 28, suffered a knee injury in the Jaguars’ Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. After sitting out for stretch the receiver was ruled questionable to return, but Jones got back on the field before the end of the game Sunday. He finished the day without a reception.

Having Fatukasi out of action would be more consequential loss for the Jaguars, though. With DaVon Hamilton on injured reserve, Jacksonville has primarily relied on Fatukasi to handle nose tackle duties. Details about his shoulder injury are unclear as they were unaddressed by head coach Doug Pederson earlier in the day.

Pederson told reporters that outside linebacker Josh Allen “is going to be fine” after suffering a shoulder injury against the Chiefs.

For the Houston Texans, there’s a long list of injuries after the first two weeks.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters that third-year defensive back Grayland Arnold will take over for Tavierre Thomas in the slot, and safety Jimmie Ward should be in line to make his season debut, via Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2.
