Injuries are the story this week, and plenty of them.


Drom D. Harvey / Times Union:

Quote:The injury bug has bit the Jacksonville Jaguars with several players banged up as the team gets set to finish out the preseason and enter the regular season.
A slew of players were hurt during joint practices or knocked out of last week's preseason game against the Detroit Lions.
That list includes offensive linemen Anton Harrison (shoulder), Chandler Brewer (concussion protocol), Cooper Hodges (patella), Darryl Williams (shoulder) and Josh Wells (groin). Blake Hance was checked for a concussion but was cleared and is slated to practice as normal this week. Williams was able to play through his injury against Detroit.
Wells is set to miss time due to his injury, but Harrison should be fine this week, according to Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson. Hodges, one of the team's seventh-round draft picks, will miss the remainder of the preseason and training camp, but his prognosis beyond that is unknown.


Rookie safety Antonio Johnson (hamstring) suffered a setback this week prior to the game against the Lions and will be held out again this week. Defensive lineman Foley Fatukasi (foot) was in a boot last week for precautionary reasons but should be out of the boot this week and is being held out of the final preseason game as a result of the injury.
DL DaVon Hamilton is also dealing with a "non-football related" back injury and his return-to-play timeline is unknown.

We need depth linemen on both sides of the ball, a serviceable NT,  and it looks like one of our developmental DBs isn't going to get the spotlight he needs to earn snaps. (wonder if they IR stash him) 

Also - Pederson still wants to play starters this week in the first quarter.
