JACKSONVILLE – The Jaguars practiced at the Miller Electric Center Friday.
The AFC South-leading Jaguars (4-2) will play host to the Indianapolis Colts (2-5) in a key Week 8 AFC South game at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville Sunday. Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen spoke to the media before practice Friday.
Here’s a look at Friday around the Jaguars:
1.Safety Antonio Johnson will miss Sunday’s game, with long snapper Ross Matiscik and cornerback Montaric Brown expected to play.
Johnson, a fourth-year veteran safety who has emerged as a key part of the Jaguars’ defense and secondary, was ruled out on Friday with an ankle injury. The Jaguars released their third and final injury report of the week Friday afternoon.
Johnson sustained the injury in a Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans in London. He did not practice this week.
Matiscik and Brown were among seven Jaguars players listed without game status on Friday, meaning they are expected to be available Sunday. Matiscik missed the loss to the Texans with a shoulder injury and Brown missed that game with a hamstring injury.
Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was listed as questionable on Friday with a hamstring injury.
Other Jaguars players listed without status Friday: Tight end Brenton Strange (eye), defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro (ankle), linebacker Jahlani Tavai (hamstring), running back LeQuint Allen Jr. (hamstring) and defensive end Josh Hines-Allen (ankle).
