Jaguars activate seven players from reserve/COVID-19 list

With an NFL-worst 2-13 record entering Week 17 and the dark cloud of the recently departed Urban Meyer still hanging over their heads, the 2021 season has been a colossal disaster for the Jacksonville Jaguars

The team will look to end the campaign on a high note when they face the New England Patriots on Sunday and then the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18, though, and they should have plenty of reinforcements coming their way.

While first-round pick Travis Etienne Jr. is still on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season, the other players coming back should be able to make an impact on the field for Jacksonville.

Josh Allen currently ranks first on the team in tackles for a loss with nine and sacks with 5.5, placing second in quarterback hits at 12. Despite missing two games, Myles Jack is second in tackles at 97.

Damien Wilson leads the team with 99 tackles and has recorded five tackles for a loss and two sacks as well.
