The Jacksonville Jaguars removed TE Dan Arnold from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Jaguars WR Laviska Shenault was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Play him at your own risk.

The Jacksonville Jaguars put running back James Robinson on injured reserve because of an Achilles injury and placed 11 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.

The noncontact injury occurred in the first quarter when Robinson came out of his stance in the backfield. He immediately fell to the ground and grabbed his left foot. He was helped off the field and then taken into the locker room via cart with a towel draped over his head, the story said. With Hyde on the IR, Ogunbowale should again take over as the team's RB1. He carried 17 times for 57 yards and a TD in Week 16 while adding two catches for 15 yards.

Jaguars RB James Robinson suffered a torn Achilles Sunday against the Jets.

Just absolutely unfortunate for Robinson, who was performing very well and was overcoming coaching issues all season. Dare Ogunbowale is in at running back. Hopefully Robinson can come back early next season along with first-round pick Travis Etienne, who will also be coming off injury next season.

Jaguars WR Laviska Shenault has been added to the reserve/COVID-19 list. He will miss Week 16's game against the New York Jets unless he tests negative Saturday and Sunday morning.

A disappointing season for Shenault hits another snag. He was barely a flex play with little usage the past month.

Jacksonville has placed running back Carlos Hyde and safety Rayshawn Jenkins on injured reserve. With just three weeks left in the season Hyde and Jenkins are done for the year.

Hyde suffered a concussion in the Week 14 loss to Tennessee and missed Sunday’s loss to Houston. He finished 2021 with 253 yards on 72 carries along with 12 catches for 65 yards, the story said. Ogunbowale and Cottrell are next up on the depth chart behind Robinson, who should get a bulk of the work going forward.

Jaguars interim head coach Darrell Bevell is turning over the playcalling duties to passing game coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for the final three games of the season.

Bevell wanted to focus more on being the head coach and making those kind of decisions. It's potentially good news for Robinson as Schottenheimer was Seattle's offensive coordinator the previous three seasons, and the Seahawks finished in the top 10 in scoring each season and led the NFL in rushing in 2018. Schottenheimer's rush offense ranked in the top 10 in three of his six seasons with the Jets, but he has never had a pass offense rank higher than 14th in his 12 seasons as a coordinator.

Jaguars interim HC Darrell Bevell told reporters Friday that RB Carlos Hyde is still in concussion protocol and will miss Week 15's game against the Houston Texans.

As if you didn't need another reason to lock Robinson into your fantasy lineup...

Jaguars HC Urban Meyer told reporters Friday that RB James Robinson (heel/knee) and WR Marvin Jones will play Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans.

Jones was given the veteran's rest treatment, but the green light being given for Robinson is big since Jacksonville faces one of the better run defenses in the NFL.
