The Jacksonville Jaguars officially placed safety Caleb Ransaw on the reserve/injured list this past Tuesday, October 6, with a knee injury, meaning he’s gotta miss a minimum of four games.
Ransaw’s Injury Changes The Safety Picture
Ransaw got the “designated to return” tag, which is at least a glimmer of hope for later in the season. But still, four games minimum on the sidelines for a key guy with a knee issue? That’s a tough blow for the Jaguars secondary. It means they’ll be without him for a significant chunk of the schedule, and they’ve gotta adjust.
Jags Already Making Moves In The Secondary
This move wasn’t in isolation, though. Cornerback Christian Braswell was also waived due to injury. That’s two spots suddenly open in their defensive backfield. To address that immediately, the Jaguars brought in some new blood. They signed two cornerbacks to the active roster: Alijah Huzzie, who was most recently with the Texans, and Jaylon Jones, who had been with the Bears. It’s a quick pivot for the Jags to try and keep some depth and stability in that secondary after taking a couple of hits.
So, the Jaguars secondary is looking a little different after these moves. With Ransaw out for at least a month and Braswell also gone, Huzzie and Jones are stepping into some immediate pressure to contribute. We’ll see how this shakes out for them.
