Travis Hunter’s Jaguars debut showcased a bold two‑way rollout, hinting at a flexible fantasy role that could alter the Jaguars’ weapons map. The rookie lined up at wide receiver and cornerback, with Jacksonville aiming for about 10 offensive snaps and 10 defensive snaps in the preseason opener against Pittsburgh. He logged 10 offensive plays and 8 on defense, snagging both of his two targets for nine yards while a tackle that was wiped out by a penalty didn’t alter the box score. Hunter's defense was more about his coverage than his assistant-box stats, sticking with receivers in tight man and zone looks. A missed tackle on a Kaleb Johnson run was the lone blemish, but it underscored the learning curve for a multi‑position rookie. The Jaguars’ plan kept his workload close to the target, setting up a blueprint for fantasy managers monitoring a path to larger usage as the season approaches.

The Indianapolis Colts, standing at 7-9, are preparing for their match against the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-12) at Lucas Oil Stadium this Sunday. In the latest updates, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has been ruled out due to a back injury, while cornerback JuJu Brents has been listed as questionable. Fortunately for the Colts, Brents has been activated from Injured Reserve, allowing him to compete for the first time since Week 1.

On the Jaguars' side, offensive tackle Walker Little has been ruled out with an ankle injury, and linebacker Ventrell Miller is also questionable due to an ankle issue. Additionally, star edge rusher Josh Hines-Allen has been added to the injury report and ruled out for personal reasons. Miller has also been declared inactive for the game.

With Richardson sidelined, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco will take the helm for the Colts, despite having a 1-4 record as a starter this season. The Colts will miss several players due to injuries, while the Jaguars will be without key contributors like Little and Hines-Allen, who has tallied significant defensive statistics against the Colts in his career.

The Jacksonville Jaguars head into their Week 18 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts with two players listed on their final injury report. Offensive tackle Walker Little has been ruled out for the second consecutive week due to an ankle injury, which has kept him in a boot. Meanwhile, linebacker Ventrell Miller is questionable with a similar ankle issue, with head coach Doug Pederson expressing doubts about his availability for the game.

On a positive note, several players who were previously on the injury report, including offensive guards Ezra Cleveland and Brandon Scherff, as well as safety Darnell Savage, have cleared their statuses. Savage, who missed last week’s game due to a concussion, has returned to practice and is expected to play against the Colts. Pederson emphasized Savage's leadership and veteran presence, noting his adaptability in the Jaguars' defense and his crucial role in stabilizing the secondary.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have issued their injury report ahead of their Week 18 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Offensive tackle Walker Little is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 16, rendering him a non-participant in practice. Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Little's condition, noting he was seen in a walking boot.

In response to Little's absence, the Jaguars have appointed veteran offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen as the starting left tackle. Van Lanen, who played every snap in the previous game, received praise from quarterback Mac Jones, who highlighted their strong friendship and Van Lanen's hard work. Additionally, the injury report includes limited participants such as Ezra Cleveland, Brandon Scherff, Darnell Savage, and Ventrell Miller, with Scherff's shoulder injury being a concern after he briefly left the last game.
