Defensive lineman Folorunso Fatukasi was the sole player the Jacksonville Jaguars listed on their Wednesday injury report ahead of a Week 1 game against the Washington Commanders.
“Foley is the only one we’re working back into the mix,” Jaguars coach Doug Pederson told reporters ahead of the Wednesday practice. “We should see him out at practice today.”
Fatukasi, 27, was limited with a nagging calf injury that he’s been dealing with since the beginning of training camp. Fatukasi, who joined the Jaguars in March after four seasons with the New York Jets, was still able to participate sparingly in preseason. During a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he reaggravated the injury and was helped off the field by trainers.
The Commanders are dealing with more injuries, listing seven players on their Wednesday report:

That list doesn’t include star defensive end Chase Young, who will miss the season opener while he recovers from a knee injury on the team’s physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
