In Jacksonville, a key player on the Jaguars’ roster will be sidelined for the third game in a row due to a lingering hamstring issue. According to Coach Pederson, there is hope for a return to the field next week.
In addition to the tight end’s absence, the team will also be without a starting linebacker, who is nursing a plantar fasciitis injury. The status of several other players remains uncertain, including a nickel back, receiver, cornerback, and linebacker, all of whom are dealing with various injuries.
The tight end initially suffered the hamstring injury during pregame warmups in Week 2, causing him to miss two crucial games. In his place, a second-year player has stepped up, racking up five catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. This young athlete is likely to start again in the upcoming game.
Notably, the injured tight end had not missed a game with the Jaguars since joining the team in March 2022. Last season, he made 114 receptions for 963 yards and four touchdowns, and has accumulated 188 catches for 1,734 yards and eight touchdowns in 35 games with the Jaguars.
