Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd (knee) is inactive for today's game against the Texans. With LB Foye Oluokun already on IR for a foot injury, that leaves Ventrel Miller and Chad Muma as the top 2 LBs for the game. It's tough to know exactly how much playing time to expect for either reserve. Oluokun dipped to 80-85% as the corps leader over the first two weeks, with Miller and Muma rotating in more than the Nos. 3-4 LBs did over the past couple of seasons. Each guy is a low-level IDP option for Week 4, though, with upside beyond their spots in our rankings. S Darnell Savage (quad) is also inactive.
The Jaguars have placed LB Foye Oluokun on IR for plantar fasciitis. That means he'll miss at least the next four games. Chad Muma and Ventrell Miller will each see playing-time boosts in Oluokun's absence. We'll have to see how the whole LB picture plays out, though. Muma has worked as the No. 3 LB for the Jaguars the past two years, but Miller played one more snap in last week's loss at Buffalo. LB Devin Lloyd is also questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans because of a knee injury. If Lloyd can't go, then Muma and Miller should both be in for starter-level snaps. Cameron DaSilva of Jaguars Wire reports that Lloyd's "expected to be OK" for the Houston game, though.
Jaguars LB Foye Oluokun is "expected to miss several weeks" with plantar fasciitis, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. We'll watch for further details on his expected return timeline, but this is an issue that tends to linger. Players often play through plantar fasciitis, including Chargers QB Justin Herbert earlier this season. That Oluokun is expected to miss time suggests a more serious case. Jacksonville will increase the roles of LB Ventrell Miller and Chad Muma in Oluokun's absence. We'll see exactly how playing time breaks down.
Jaguars LB Foye Oluokun left in the second quarter of Monday night's loss to the Bills with a foot injury. Initially listed as questionable to return, he was downgraded to out before the end of the game.
Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd is active for today's game against the Colts. He missed the past 2 games after surgery to repair his right thumb. Lloyd's return today should knock LB Chad Muma back down to a part-time role.
Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. He said earlier in the week that he'd be ready to play with a cast on the repaired thumb. We'll check Lloyd's status Sunday morning. If he can't go, Chad Muma would get another game in his place.
Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd had surgery Wednesday on the right thumb he injured in Sunday's loss to the Texans. He will not travel with the team for its two-game visit to London. That means fellow second-year LB Chad Muma will jump into the starting lineup the next two weeks. Muma got two starts in place of Lloyd last season, delivering 9 and 11 tackles in those games. He added 1.5 sacks in the second. Muma looks at least as good for IDP lineups as Lloyd, and quite possibly better. Lloyd has been a shaky performer since arriving late in the first round of the 2022 draft.
Jaguars LB Chad Muma (ankle) is active for today's game against the Cowboys. EDGE Travon Walker (ankle) is inactive. We'd guess Muma will return to the starting lineup and play over LB Devin Lloyd in 2-LB packages. CB Darious Williams (abdomen) is also active.
Jaguars LB Chad Muma (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He managed limited practices all week after missing last Sunday's win over the Titans. If Mama returns, fellow rookie Devin Lloyd would likely return to a part-time role. EDGE Travon Walker is questionable as well, but he missed practice all week with the ankle issue that knocked him out of the Tennessee game. We wouldn't look to play Walker in IDP lineups even if active. CB Darious Williams (abdomen) is also questionable. We'll check the status of all 3 on Sunday morning. S Andre Cisco was left off the final injury report after putting in full practices all week. He looks ready to return after missing the past 2 games. Andrew Wingard had been filling in.
The Jaguars have ruled LB Chad Mama (hamstring) out for Sunday's game against the Titans. That should move fellow rookie LB Devin Lloyd back into the starting lineup. S Andre Cisco (shoulder) is questionable after missing the last game. He managed limited practices all week. We'll check his status Sunday morning.
Jaguars LB Chad Muma left Sunday's loss to the Lions early with an ankle injury. HC Doug Pederson told reporters Monday that Muma is "day to day," according to the team website. If Muma can't go against the Titans this Sunday, then Devin Lloyd would likely be in line to return to the lineup.
The Jaguars selected Chad Muma in Round 3 of the NFL Draft, the 2nd LB they have chosen thus far. Muma sported above-average speed in pre-draft testing, at 6'3, 237 pounds. He also delivered strong production last season: 142 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 3 INTs and 2 defensive TDs. He hits a Jacksonville defense that threw money at LB Foye Oluokun in free agency and then added LB Devin Lloyd in Round 1. So early playing time figures to be scant.
