The Jacksonville Jaguars are getting healthier for the final six weeks of the season, with just three players listed on their Wednesday practice injury report.
Cornerback Tyson Campbell (hamstring), running back Travis Etienne (ribs) and tight end Luke Farrell (toe) were all limited.
Campbell first suffered the hamstring injury in Week 6 and would go on to miss Week 7 and Week 8. Campbell then returned in Week 10 after the Jaguars' bye week but left after re-injuring the same hamstring.
"Tyson is close, but I don’t want to put him out there just yet. He’s still working through it. He is feeling better, but probably still a ways. He’s closer, but not where we want him to be, so probably going to be down for this game," Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said about Campbell last week, which could mean he has a chance to return on Monday.
Etienne sustained his rib injury in last week's 24-21 win over the Houston Texans, though he did return and finish the game. Farrell also finished last week's game, setting career highs in targets (five), receptions (three), and receiving yards (55).
“First of all, there’s a ton of confidence with Luke. He is a good receiving tight end, he has great hands. You can see the strength and the ability to run after the catch that he has," Pederson said on Monday.
"The type of throws that he’s getting are short to intermediate or the keep game by Trevor [Lawrence], things like that. We have him in every week, it’s just a matter of getting it to him and it all depends on what the defense dictates to us on whether or not we call those or not. This past week was an opportunity for us to get that movement game and get Trevor on the edge, and get Luke the football. We’ve got plays for him every week, obviously we don’t get to them every week, but it just so happened that yesterday he made a nice catch and run in that game. We continue to try to get everybody involved and he’s a big part of that. Trevor does have a lot of confidence in him, he trusts him, he knows where he’s going to be and that’s a positive for our offense.”
