The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without at least one starter this Sunday as center Brandon Linder was ruled out on Week 14’s final injury report. The decision came after the veteran sustained an ankle injury against the Minnesota Vikings that sidelined him during practice this week.
With Linder out, Tyler Shatley will get to start in the veteran’s place. With him being inserted into the lineup once again, Sunday’s game will mark Shatley’s seventh start of 2020.
The Jags also ruled four players questionable for Sunday’s meeting against the Tennessee Titans. Those players were tight end Tyler Eifert (shoulder), linebacker Kamalei Correa (hamstring), and cornerbacks Greg Mabin (hamstring) and Sidney Jones IV (Achilles).

Of the four, the most significant absences could be those of Jones and Correa as they are starters. Jones has missed the Jags’ last three games with his injury, which has been a huge blow to the Jags’ already wounded secondary. As their best cornerback, his addition would be huge for the Jags as they take on the receiver tandem of A.J. Brown and Corey Davis Sunday.
If Jones can’t go, they could stick with the pairing of Tre Herndon and Luq Barcoo on the outside.
Correa’s return would be huge, too, as he’s a former Titan who knows their personnel well. Since making a trade for him in October, Correa has started in six games for the Jags, dating back to Week 6 against the Detroit Lions.
