The Jacksonville Jaguars once again have an injury report that reads as long as CVS receipt, though there is some good news.
Injured offensive linemen Walker Little (hamstring) and Ezra Cleveland (knee) were limited on Wednesday, which does indicate they will at least have a fighting chance to play Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
“Both guys are doing well, kind of a day-to-day right now," Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said on Wednesday. "We’ll get them in some of these walkthroughs that we’re going to do in the morning and see how they respond to the afternoon practice. Both are trending in the right way.”
The Jaguars have used 11 different offensive line combinations this year due to injuries at multiple spots, but with nine of those combinations involving changes at left tackle and left guard. The return of either Little or Cleveland would bode well, especially at left tackle.
"Yeah, every time you’re playing next to somebody who you haven’t, we had Ezra [Cleveland] out there playing left tackle. He did a great job. Every time the communication is different, their footwork is different," Jaguars right guard Brandon Scherff said on Monday.
"I’ve played with a bunch of right tackles and a bunch of centers, it’s all just getting those practice reps. I think Phil [Rauscher] does a great job of getting to that, but we didn’t expect Ezra to go out. I thought Blake [Hance] stepped up and did a good job. It’s just about getting the extra reps and maybe getting a few extras with a few different combinations so we know if you like to go outside, if you’re a short stepper. Like you said, just continuity and just knowing what everybody does.”
The Jaguars also had wide receiver Jamal Agnew (shoulder), cornerback Tre Herndon (concussion), cornerback Christian Braswell (hamstring), running back Travis Etienne (ribs), running back D'Ernest Johnson (knee), wide receiver Zay Jones (knee), and tight end Brenton Strange (tight end) limited.
Cornerback Tyson Campbell (quad) and safety Andre Cisco (groin) were each non-participants, while Trevor Lawrence (ankle) and C.J. Beathard (shoulder) were both full participants.
