JAGUARS IN ACTION Of the 76 players that were dressed for the Jaguars’ 22-17 loss against the Lions, 68 played.

FRIDAY’S INJURIES Here are the Jaguars’ injuries from Friday night against the Lions: DE Andre Branch (MCL sprain), TE Clay Harbor (minor ankle sprain), WR Allen Hurns (hip tightness), G Brandon Linder (left toe), and WR Allen Robinson (shoulder contusion). HEAD COACH GUS BRADLEY ON FRIDAY’S INJURIES (Injury update) “I have Brandon Linder, left toe. I think he could have come back and played we just chose not to. Andre Branch we will get an MRI on his knee. We’ve got our fingers crossed on that one. I think we’ll see with that. I know he was walking around a little bit in the training room. Allen Robinson returned to the game, Allen Hurns just had some hip tightness so we chose to keep him out in the second half, and then Clay Harbor, ankle. We’ll see how he is but other than that I think we came out in pretty good shape.” (Do you have guys here if Branch is out a while?) “I do. I think that we might have to get creative in some of the things that we do and we did that last year. We’ll see how Branch is but if we get him going and Chris Clemons and Ryan Davis I think those three on third downs can give us some pressure. It’s that first and second down. Can we create enough pressure and affect the quarterback enough to get some turnovers? I think that’s legit.” INTERCEPTIONS: None Attendance: 59,327 Time: 3:01 76 degrees Preseason Week 4 at Washington Redskins 1 EverBank Field Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32202
