Team news: Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars fear that WR Dede Westbrook tore his ACL in yesterday’s loss to the #Chargers, source said.

He’ll have an MRI to confirm the injury that would knock him out for the season. Westbrook was already behind Chark, Shenault and Cole anyway and was a scratch most of the season.

Jaguars WR Dede Westbrook was carted off the field during the second half against the Chargers with a significant leg injury.

Westbrook had bounced around as either injured or inactive throughout the season but returned as a kick and punt returner for the Jaguars. The injury looked very bad live. Very unfortunate for Westbrook, even as he was working back in a limited role for the team.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew could be in danger of being benched if his struggles continue.

Rapoport says that benching could come as soon as today against the Chargers. Mike Glennon is Minshew’s backup. Minshew has four fumbles and five interceptions during the Jaguars’ five-game losing streak. Head coach Doug Marrone even said he’d be naive to think it’s not a possibility that the team switches quarterbacks. The Jaguars have their bye next week so they’ll certainly be closely evaluating over the next few days.

Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo will play Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.

Lambo not only stabilizes the Jaguars kicking situation, but he gets a revenge game against the team that cut him in 2017.

Jaguars TE Tyler Eifert will not play Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to John Oehser of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jaguars offense has shied away from targeting the tight end position, and when they have been, it has been closer to a 50/50 split. Eifert was not on the fantasy radar for Week 7.
