The Jacksonville Jaguars had four players out of practice Wednesday, including wide receiver Zay Jones and defensive lineman Folorunso Fatukasi.
Jones, 28, suffered a knee injury in the Jaguars’ Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. After sitting out for stretch the receiver was ruled questionable to return, but Jones got back on the field before the end of the game Sunday. He finished the day without a reception.

With DaVon Hamilton on injured reserve, Jacksonville has primarily relied on Fatukasi to handle nose tackle duties. Details about his shoulder injury are unclear as they were unaddressed by head coach Doug Pederson earlier in the day.
