The Jacksonville Jaguars made one notable change to their Week 5 injury report on Thursday as safety Eric Murray moved from non-participant to limited in practice while still recovering from a concussion. Murray remains in the concussion protocol and will not be cleared to play until he passes all the necessary tests.
Defensive end Josh Hines-Allen continued to be limited in practice with a groin injury, leaving his status for the upcoming game uncertain. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen is expected to provide further updates when he meets with the media on Friday.
The rest of the injury report stayed steady, with several players listed as limited participants. Offensive lineman Anton Harrison (elbow), cornerback Jourdan Lewis (hamstring), defensive back Jarrian Jones (foot), cornerback Montaric Brown (hamstring), offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen (knee), defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton (foot), and cornerback Jaylon Jones (hamstring) all remained limited in practice.
Meanwhile, LeQuint Allen (hip) and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) were full participants in Thursday’s session, indicating their availability is less in doubt.
The Jaguars face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5, and the injury status of Murray and Hines-Allen will be closely watched. Murray’s progression to limited practice is a positive sign, but concussion protocol rules mean he cannot return until fully cleared. Hines-Allen’s groin issue has kept him limited for multiple days, leaving his participation in question.
Michael DiRocco of ESPN tweeted a photo of Murray’s limited practice, noting it as a sign of progress for the safety, but reiterated that clearance is still pending.
The Jaguars will have more clarity after Coen’s Friday media availability, when the coaching staff is expected to address the injury updates ahead of the game.
