The Jacksonville Jaguars were without right guard Brandon Scherff and long snapper Ross Matiscik in the first practice ahead of a Divisional Round game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Neither absence were particularly surprising as both players have been dealing with injuries and missing practice time for several weeks. Neither player has missed a game.
The only new addition to the Jaguars’ list of injuries was center Luke Fortner, who was limited Tuesday with a back problem.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has appeared on every Jaguars injury report for over a month due to a toe sprain.
For the Chiefs, the only absence Tuesday was wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who was activated off injured reserve earlier in January.
