The Jacksonville Jaguars only had two players to sit out of Wednesday’s practice, both of which were on offense in tight end Tyler Eifert (shoulder/ day off) and center Brandon Linder (ankle). The other seven players who were listed all practiced on a limited basis.

Linder was expected to miss Wednesday’s practice as coach Doug Marrone revealed the news earlier in the day. His absence comes after he exited Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings early with the ankle injury he’s listed for.
When looking at those who were limited, there were several notable names in the group. On offense, receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (thumb) and running back James Robinson (knee) were the biggest names. Like Linder, Shenault exited Sunday’s with his injury but Doug Marrone revealed that his X-Ray came back negative on Monday.
On defense, cornerback Sidney Jones IV (Achilles) continued to be limited. He had the same status for most of last week’s practices aside from Friday (didn’t participate) and was ruled out for Week 13’s game against the Vikings. Hopefully, this week will lead to his return as the Jags could use some experience in their secondary.
Lastly, linebackers Dakota Allen (hamstring) and Kamalei Correa (hamstring) made progress from last week as neither participated leading up to Week 13’s game. With both starting the week limited, there is a chance they both could be back Sunday, giving the linebacking corps back one of its starters and reserves.
