The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without a few players on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

The list includes starting nickel cornerback Jourdan Lewis, who was placed on injured reserve Thursday due to a foot injury. Lewis is not expected to return this year, but will remain involved with the franchise.

The Jaguars entered this week with a slew of injuries, including to three defensive backs, Lewis and cornerbacks Montaric Brown and Greg Newsome II. Both Brown and Newsome are good to go after being sidelined a little this week due to neck and shoulder injuries, respectively.

Brown practiced limited all week, while Newsome missed practice on Wednesday due to a personal matter before returning to practice on Thursday. Both players were removed from the injury report on Friday.

Though defensive tackle Arik Armstead was not seen during the media availability portion of practice on Friday, the team removed him from the injury report, noting that he was out on Friday due to an illness.

The Jaguars did get good news this week, though. Rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten practiced limited all week and was designated as questionable on Friday. It appears Tuten could be ready to play next week, if not this week, after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured finger.

Jacksonville listed just six players with injury statuses, including Lewis, who is mandated by the league to remain on the injury report even though he went on IR.

Here’s the team’s Friday, Week 17 injury report ahead of their game vs. the Colts.
