The official injury report reflected something different from what the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier announced.
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey was expected to practice Thursday, but he ended up missing a second consecutive day with a knee injury. His continued absence from the practice field places his status for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts very much in the air.
Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone on Wednesday expressed a "high-level of concern" over Ramsey's availability in Week 13. Ramsey could return to practice Friday, of course, but two straight days of missed work isn't a good sign.
The reeling Jaguars, losers of seven consecutive games, need Ramsey on the field when considering the upcoming opponent. The Colts have won five straight games behind quarterback Andrew Luck, who has thrown for 16 touchdowns against three interceptions in that span.
Meanwhile, wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) and safety Tashaun Gipson (ankle) missed a second straight day of practice as well.
Here are other injuries we're monitoring Thursday:
- Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson, who's been hampered by a shoulder injury, isn't practicing. Peterson re-aggravated his shoulder, which he dislocated earlier in the season, in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
- New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold was a limited participant for the second consecutive day.
- Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) is not expected to play Sunday against the New York Giants, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported. Backup signal-caller Chase Daniel is in line to make a second straight start in place of Trubisky. He was limited on Thursday.
