Jaguars Place Jourdan Lewis on IR After Foot Injury Requires Season-Ending Surgery

Jacksonville shifts to Jarrian Jones at nickel to steady a depleted cornerback group.

Overview

  • Jacksonville signed veteran cornerback Keith Taylor to the active roster after placing Lewis on injured reserve.
  • Coaches expect Jarrian Jones to handle the slot, with Greg Newsome II and Montaric Brown on the perimeter and Christian Braswell providing depth.
  • Head coach Liam Coen said Lewis will continue to lead off the field, praising his communication and energy as the defense adjusts.
  • Lewis said his foot was stepped on during the win in Denver; he logged 39 tackles, 10 pass breakups and two interceptions in 12 games.
  • The loss follows rookie Travis Hunter’s season-ending knee injury and the earlier trade of Tyson Campbell, as the playoff-bound Jaguars remain in AFC South contention.
