- The Jaguars entered their bye week with a 4-2 record and a familiar kind of optimism: enough good football to believe in, enough rough edges to keep the coaching staff busy.
- Anton Harrison’s Week 5 knee injury will keep him out for the rest of the season after arthroscopic surgery revealed an ACL tear.
- Harrison’s injury forces Walker Little into a far more important role.
- Against the Texans in Week 6, Little allowed two pressures and no sacks.
- The Jaguars averaged five penalties per game in the first three weeks, then were flagged 26 times in Weeks 4 and 5.
- The running game is another piece the Jaguars are trying to stabilize.
- They signed Chris Rodriguez in free agency to help fill the void left by Travis Etienne’s departure, and Rodriguez has already put up 132 yards on 27 carries.
