Claybrooks was the first of the two to go on injured reserve back on Nov. 26 for a core muscle injury. Norwell was added to the list two days later for a forearm injury.
Claybrooks would bring back a player with experience to the Jags’ wounded secondary as the rookie has started in two games for the Jags. Before heading to IR, he also was able to garner 28 tackles and three pass breakups.
Norwell’s return will be a big help, too, as he started in all of the Jags’ games prior to going on injured reserve. Before his injury set him back, he was the Jags’ second-highest graded (71.1) offensive lineman under Brandon Linder, per Pro Football Focus.
