The Jacksonville Jaguars have started their 2026 season on a positive note with a 3-1 record. The AFC South has been struggling, which could give the Jaguars an opportunity to perform well during December and January. Remaining healthy is crucial for the team, especially in the postseason. Recently, the Jaguars have expressed a need for help in the secondary, leading to the signing of cornerbacks Jaylon Jones and Alijah Huzzle on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, the prognosis for Jones is not good. He has a soft tissue/hamstring issue and will not be participating in the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This marks the only player ruled out for the Jaguars so far. Eric Murray is also doubtful, although he has practiced in limited fashion. Jones, a 28-year-old undrafted rookie from Ole Miss, spent four seasons with the Chicago Bears and played 56 games.
He returned to the Windy City for a fifth year but was placed on Injured Reserve (IR) in late August. He was subsequently released with an injury settlement. Jones spent some time recovering and only recently signed with the Jaguars in October. Despite this, he is still not ready to play. The team will likely need to take extra precautions to avoid rushing him back. The Jaguars will face the Houston Texans in that matchup, which falls on Week 6.
