The Jacksonville Jaguars have nine players on this week's status report ahead of their battle with the Baltimore Ravens. The bright side is that, this time, there is no quarterback listed among the wounded.
Cornerback Tyson Campbell (quad) and safety Andre Cisco (groin) have both been ruled out.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars have listed the following players as questionable:
- WR Jamal Agnew (shoulder)
- CB Christian Braswell (hamstring)
- OL Ezra Cleveland (knee)
- CB Tre Herndon (concussion)
- OL Walker Little (hamstring)
- TE Brenton Strange (foot)
- LS Ross Matiscik (back)
Matiscik was not on the injury report before Friday, being added as a non-participant today.
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Friday would be a big day for Walker Little and Ezra Cleveland, who would start at left tackle and left guard respectively if they ended up playing.
Meanwhile, starting nickel cornerback Tre Herndon has officially cleared the concussion protocol after missing last week's game, Pederson said.
If Herndon didn't play, he would likely be replaced in the starting lineup by fifth-round rookie Antonio Johnson.
Johnson recorded a strip-sack and a third-down pass break-up last week despite playing just 20 snaps, opening the door for a bigger role even if Herndon does play.
“I thought he did a real good job, he just continues to improve and every opportunity he gets, he seems to flash," Jaguars defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell said this week.
"He made a great play late in the game breaking up a pass and the pressure, he got the sack. He’s being able to step up, I don’t think the game is too big for him. He understands, he plays well, he tackles well and he can cover. He has a variety of different talents that he’s been able to use.”
