The Jaguars just got a massive sigh of relief on Thursday, with wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and defensive end Travon Walker both making their return to the practice field. After sitting out Wednesday’s session, seeing two of their top players back, even in a limited capacity, is exactly the kind of news a team wants heading into a crucial Week 10 matchup.
Two Top Talents Back in the Mix
Meyers, who’s been dealing with an ankle issue, and Walker, sidelined with a rib problem, were both listed as limited participants. The big thing here is neither player has actually missed a game this season. That shows serious toughness, but it also means the coaching staff is going to be watching them super close. Can they go a full game without re-aggravating anything? Friday’s practice report is going to be absolutely massive. That’s when we’ll get a real read on their chances of suiting up against the Titans. You know head coach wants them out there, especially with their track record of not missing action.
Other Lingering Issues and Returns
While Meyers and Walker are the main headlines, the Jaguars aren’t totally out of the woods on the injury front. Running back Bhayshul Tuten is still dealing with an ankle issue and remained out of practice. The wild part? He was out all three days last week too, but still managed to play in their win over the Ravens last Thursday. That’s some serious grit, but you gotta wonder how much more he can push it. Safety Jessie Bates and defensive tackle Jordan Davis were also still out, but that’s just for “rest” as they get settled with their new squad. Other guys hitting the limited list include offensive lineman Ezra Cleveland (knee, ankle), safety Antonio Johnson (ankle), running back Chris Rodriguez (hand), linebacker Brandon Combs (shoulder), and offensive lineman Robert Hainsey (concussion). On a brighter note, defensive end B.J. Green was a full participant. He was just designated for return from injured reserve, so getting him back to full speed is a real win.
So, what’s next? All eyes are on Friday. That’s when we find out the real deal about Meyers and Walker. Are they good to go? Will they be limited? Their presence could be huge when the Jaguars face off against the Titans. You know the team needs all hands on deck to keep pushing through this regular season.
