The Jacksonville Jaguars have a new addition to the injury report, with rookie tight end Brenton Strange landing on it Friday with a foot injury.

Strange, who injured his foot in practice and was labeled as limited. He was joined as a limited participant by tight end Luke Farrell (ankle), running back Travis Etienne (ribs), and cornerback Tyson Campbell (hamstring).

With two backup tight ends on the injury report, the lone healthy player at the position is starting tight end Evan Engram. The only other tight end on the team is practice squad tight end Josh Pederson, the son of head coach Doug Pederson.

Pederson has not been active once this season but could be activated from the practice squad on Monday Night Football vs. the Bengals if Strange or Farrell miss the game.
