In an exciting matchup at Wembley Stadium, the New England Patriots faced off against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The Patriots welcomed back their leading rusher, Rhamondre Stevenson, who was listed as active after missing one game due to a foot injury. Stevenson has been a key player for the Patriots this season, accumulating 356 yards on 77 carries and scoring three touchdowns. Additionally, he has contributed 13 receptions for 37 yards, showcasing his versatility on the field.
However, the Patriots had to make do without rookie wide receiver Javon Baker, who was inactive for the game due to an illness that kept him out of Friday's practice. Alongside Baker, the Patriots listed several other players as inactive for the game, including wide receiver Tyquan Thornton, outside linebacker Sione Takitaki, quarterback Joe Milton, offensive tackle Vederian Lowe, and defensive end Jeremiah Pharms.
On the Jaguars' side, running back Travis Etienne was unable to play due to a hamstring injury. Etienne's absence was felt after a challenging game against the Chicago Bears, where he managed just three carries for negative yardage. The Jaguars also had defensive lineman Maason Smith listed as inactive, despite recently trading DL Roy Robertson-Harris to the Seattle Seahawks.
Joining Etienne and Smith on the inactive list for the Jaguars were defensive end Myles Cole, offensive linemen Javon Foster and Cole Van Lanen, and defensive tackle Esezi Otomewo. However, there was a positive development for the Jaguars as cornerback Tyson Campbell returned to action after missing the last five games with a hamstring injury, providing a boost to their defense.
Overall, the game between the Patriots and Jaguars featured key lineup changes and player absences on both sides, adding an element of unpredictability to the matchup. Fans eagerly awaited the outcome of the game at Wembley Stadium, anticipating how these roster adjustments would impact the teams' performances on the field.
