Injury news: Jags down 2 OL before first half

The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t been able to get much going in the first half of their preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons, and have found themselves down 21-3 with about 10 minutes to go in the second quarter. If that wasn’t bad enough, the Jags will have to continue through the game without two offensive lineman as Ben Ijalana and KC McDermott have been ruled OUT with a elbow and ankle injury, respectively.

According to the broadcasters on the field the Jags are down to just six available offensive lineman as the Jags sat 40 of their notable players.

The offense has already been questionable in Week 4’s game, so things may get harder on No. 2 quarterback Gardner Minshew, who has struggled (and has been a victim of drops). That said, if the Jags are to have any chance to win the available offensive lineman they have will need to get it done and perhaps get the run game going to slow down the bleeding and alleviate the pressure off Minshew.
