Jacksonville Jaguars news, rumors and injuriesJaguars | Chad Henne to start Thursday Wed, 23 Aug 2017 16:13:19 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars QB Chad Henne will be the starting quarterback for the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 24. QB Blake Bortles is also expected to receive some playing time with the first-team offense during the game. Fantasy Tip: Henne may now be the leading candidate for the starting quarterback job since he is starting the most important preseason game. Owners should avoid the Jaguars quarterback situation in their drafts no matter if Henne or Bortles starts. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Allen Hurns on the block? Wed, 23 Aug 2017 07:08:33 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars WR Allen Hurns could be on the trade block, in the opinion of beat writer Ryan O'Halloran. Fantasy Tip: Hurns had a breakout 64-1,031-10 season amidst a number of injuries two seasons ago and fell back into mediocrity last year. He could return to at least WR4 status in the right spot. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Jalen Ramsey to play Thursday Tue, 22 Aug 2017 13:27:55 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey (core) will make his first appearance of the 2017 preseason Thursday, Aug. 24. Ramsey was removed from the Physically Unable to Perform list recently after undergoing core muscle surgery earlier this offseason. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Marqise Lee will not play Thursday Mon, 21 Aug 2017 16:44:47 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars WR Marqise Lee (ankle) has been ruled out for the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 24, and is considered unlikely to play in the final preseason game. Fantasy Tip: Lee will have two weeks to recover from his ankle injury and should have a good chance to play in Week 1. He is coming off a career season in 2016 when he recorded 851 yards and three touchdowns. He probably will be the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver for the Jaguars this season but should only be a late-round flier in deeper leagues. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Mychal Rivera to sit out another game Mon, 21 Aug 2017 16:30:05 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars TE Mychal Rivera (hand) has been ruled out for the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 24. Head coach Doug Marrone said he hopes Rivera will be able to play in the final preseason game. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | T.J. Yeldon to sit out preseason game Mon, 21 Aug 2017 16:26:32 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) has been ruled out for the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 24, and is considered unlikely to play in the final preseason game. Fantasy Tip: Yeldon has been competing for the No. 2 running back job since the start of training camp, so missing the last two games may hurt his chances. He will receive limited touches this season if he makes the team and should be avoided. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Leonard Fournette ruled out Mon, 21 Aug 2017 16:09:25 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) has been ruled out for the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 24, and is considered unlikely to play in the final preseason game. Fantasy Tip: Fournette likely will be ready to play when the regular season begins and will receive most of the carries this season. He has a chance to receive a lot of touches because of the team's quarterback situation, which makes him a solid No. 2 running back in standard leagues. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Jacksonville QBs share snaps Mon, 21 Aug 2017 16:01:49 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars QBs Blake Bortles and Chad Henne received an equal amount of snaps with the first-team offense during practice Monday, Aug. 21. Head coach Doug Marrone is not ready to name a starter for the third preseason game and wants to see them practice Tuesday, Aug. 22, before making a decision. Fantasy Tip: Bortles has struggled during training camp and preseason, which has given Henne a chance to win the starting job. The Jaguars have a good set of receivers on the roster, but owners should stay away from the team's quarterback situation in fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Leonard Fournette, T.J. Yeldon sit Sunday Sun, 20 Aug 2017 15:50:27 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars RBs Leonard Fournette (foot) and T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) did not participate in practice Sunday, Aug. 20. Fantasy Tip: Fournette should be ready for the start of the regular season unless he suffers a setback. He will receive most of the carries during his rookie season and can be considered a No. 2 running back in fantasy leagues. Yeldon has a chance to be the primary backup running back for the Jaguars but can be avoided in fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | DuJuan Harris joins Jacksonville Sun, 20 Aug 2017 08:34:41 -0700 Free-agent RB DuJuan Harris (49ers) reportedly signed an undisclosed contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Aug. 20. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Mychal Rivera still sidelined Sat, 19 Aug 2017 13:08:46 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars TE Mychal Rivera (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 19. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | T.J. Yeldon sitting out Sat, 19 Aug 2017 13:02:15 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) is not participating in practice Saturday, Aug. 19. Fantasy Tip: Yeldon suffered the injury during the second preseason game and his return is uncertain. Yeldon is competing for the No. 2 running back job but can be avoided in all fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Aaron Colvin cleared Sat, 19 Aug 2017 12:46:47 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars CB Aaron Colvin has been cleared to practice and was expected to be on the field for practice Saturday, Aug. 19. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Marqise Lee eyeing Week 1 return Sat, 19 Aug 2017 10:38:30 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars WR Marqise Lee (ankle) has shed the protective boot on his right foot and expects to be ready to play in the regular-season opener against the Houston Texans. Fantasy Tip: It's the best possible outcome for Lee, who admitted to reporters he thought he broke his leg when he suffered his high-ankle sprain in practice on Aug. 13. Jacksonville's low-volume passing game may not afford Lee the same opportunities that allowed him to break out in 2016, but he should be on the WR5 radar in most leagues, if only because he was arguably the team's best receiver last season. Comment () | Share: Jaguars | Leonard Fournette should be ready for opener Sat, 19 Aug 2017 10:32:40 -0700 Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (foot) told reporters Saturday, Aug. 19, he expects to be ready for Week 1 but acknowledged his exact return date is up to the coaches. Fantasy Tip: This is a mildly curious report since Fournette was being rested this week to calm down a "minor" foot injury, so owners have a right to be skeptical. Until more is known, however, owners should assume Fournette will be a high-volume RB2 who is a worthy selection in the second round of most fantasy drafts. He has the talent to overcome his less-than-ideal situation, but he should be expected to be inconsistent until the quarterback and offensive play in Jacksonville improves. Comment () | Share:  |
