If it didn't get any tougher for the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday when they face off against the Indianapolis Colts, they lose one of their most coveted targets from this year's draft in Marqise Lee. This was reported before practice today.
The Jaguars now only have three WRs on the active roster that's healthy and not listed with an injury and as the depth chart now follows:
WR1: Allen Robinson
WR2: Mike Brown
WR3: Tavarres King
Cecil Shorts III is the another Wide Receiver that has been limited in practice for the past couple of days nursing a hamstring injury. The last WR on the active roster is UDFA Allen Hurns, who suffered an ankle injury on the Jaguars' last play on offense lst week against Washington.
Worse yet for the Jaguars, there is only one active TE on the roster that's healthy, with TE Mickey Shuler suffering a heel inury, and that is TE Marcel Jensen that was only signed earlier in the week out of the Practice Squad after being on the Jaguars' active roster during the preseason.
If the Jaguars want to win Sunday against the Colts, they need to find a way to get these young guys active. There are only 4 men on this roster that are healthy receivers for Quarterback Chad Henne to work with, and that is a hefty task for the team captain. It's going to be interesting on how the Jaguars passing game works out against the Colts pass defense Sunday.
