Jags, with LBs injured, add ex-SB MVP Smith
Veteran linebacker Malcolm Smith signed with the Jaguars to aid a linebacker corps that was hammered by injuries in Sunday's victory over the Bengals.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
The Jaguars are signing former Super Bowl XLVIII MVP LB Malcolm Smith, per league source. The team was beset by injuries at linebacker in last Sunday's victory over Cincinnati. Smith played for San Francisco the last two seasons.
Inside Jalen Ramsey's first week with the Rams
A look at the whirlwind five days in which Jalen Ramsey was traded to the Rams from the Jaguars and then contributed in the game against the Falcons.
Jaguars believe turnover binge a sign that defense can be 2017 good
The Jaguars no longer have Jalen Ramsey and have had a lot of turnover on defense since 2017, but against Cincinnati, they turned back the clock.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
Jaguars CB D.J. Hayden called the four turnovers the defense forced against Cincinnati "probably the most important thing that happened today besides the win." Coach Doug Marrone said the defensive players got their hands on lot of footballs during the week of practice. As for why that was so different from previous weeks, Hayden had this to say: “S---, we was tired of not getting a turnover so we were like, ‘We're going to get a [expletive] turnover this week.'
Jaguars' red-zone issues get a little better against woeful Bengals
The Jags have struggled scoring in the red zone, but more from Leonard Fournette and better decisions from Gardner Minshew helped Sunday.
Minshew, defense lead Jaguars over winless Bengals 27-17
Gardner Minshew led a fourth-quarter touchdown drive that put Jacksonville ahead to stay Sunday, and Yannick Ngakoue returned an interception 23 yards to clinch a 27-17 victory over the winless Cincinnati Bengals.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
That touchdown was the first one the Jaguars have scored since the third quarter of the Week 5 loss at Carolina. The Jaguars hadn't scored a red zone TD in their last six trips dating back to that 1-yard run by Leonard Fournette against the Panthers. They were 0 for 2 last week and 0 for 4 today until that pass to Keelan Cole.

Jaguars LB Quincy Williams questionable to return with a hamstring injury. Starter Najee Good (foot) is already out. Williams missed all of the preseason with a hamstring injury so this isn't a good development.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
Jaguars DT Marcell Dareus questionable to return with an abdominal injury.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
Jaguars LT Cam Robinson (toe) and LB Najee Goode (foot) have been ruled out for the rest of the game. Cedric Ogbuehi at LT and Quincy Williams at LB for the rest of the day.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
The Jaguars played good defense until the Bengals' next-to-last possession and as a result trail 7-6 at the half. But here's what's more distressing: The Jaguars have just two field goals despite amassing 309 yards, including 130 on the ground. QB Gardner Minshew got hot late but he looks uncertain in the pocket and has been under a lot of pressure. Maybe a good approach in the second half would be running the ball: Leonard Fournette has 72 yards on 12 carries and Jags averaging 6.5 per carry.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
Jaguars LT Cam Robinson is questionable to return with a toe injury. Cedric Ogbuehi will take over in his spot.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
Jaguars LB Najee Goode is questionable to return with a foot injury. Rookie Quincy Williams is on the field. Williams got benched for Goode against Carolina two weeks ago.
Ramsey: Jaguars' front office portrayed me as a 'bum' (3:12)
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
Jaguars inactives against Bengals: WR Marqise Lee, RB Devine Ozigbo, CB Parry Nickerson, LB Austin Calitro, OL Brandon Thomas, TE Geoff Swaim, DT Dontavius Russell.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
First time we've seen this all season: Jaguars TE Josh Oliver out on the field warming up. How much the rookie can contribute in his first NFL game is yet to be seen, but the Jaguars need to get something from that position in the pass game. Not having James O'Shaughnessy (torn ACL) leaves a big void at that position.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
Jaguars WR Dede Westbrook is getting his lower body stretched out on the field right now. He was listed as questionable for today's game because of a shoulder injury but is going to play. Coach Doug Marrone said on Friday that Westbrook wouldn't even need to work out before the game to determine if he was going to play. "We just wanted to be cautious and see where we are when we get to game day, but he won't work out before the game," Marrone said Friday.
Sources: Eagles offered 2 high picks for Ramsey
The Eagles offered the Jaguars first- and second-round draft picks for Jalen Ramsey, league sources told ESPN, and for a period of time thought they had a chance to land the star CB.
Sources: Ramsey Week 6 DNP last straw for Jags
Jalen Ramsey's absence from last week's game against the Saints was the final straw for owner Shad Khan, who gave the Jaguars' front office the green light to trade away the star cornerback, according to sources.

Jaguars WR Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday. WR Marqise Lee (ankle) and TE Geoff Swaim (concussion) are out. TE Josh Oliver is going to make his debut.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
Jaguars coach Doug Marrone says he thinks QB Nick Foles will be able to return to practice on Wednesday, which keeps Foles on track for a potential return on Nov. 17. Foles has been our since Week 1 with a broken collarbone.
