SS Barry Church (shoulder), RB Leonard Fournette (ankle) and DT Malik Jackson (ankle) were limited during practice but are not on the injury report. QB Blake Bortles (wrist), OG Patrick Omameh (illness) and LB Paul Posluszny (abdomen) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.
Jaguars | Blake Bortles not on injury report
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (wrist) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 19, and is not on the injury report for the AFC Championship game.
Footballguys View: Bortles is trending the right way with this injury and with his play on the field. He rushed for more yards than he passed for in the Wild Card Round against the Bills, but in the Divisional Round against the Steelers Bortles had 214 yards passing, one touchdown with zero turnovers and zero sacks taken. He’ll need top play an efficient game against the Patriots in order to advance to the Super Bowl.
Jaguars | Leonard Fournette on track to play
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (ankle) were limited during practice Friday, Jan. 19, and is not on the injury report for the AFC Championship game.
Footballguys View: Fournette is the centerpiece of the Jaguars offense, and he’ll need a big day for the team to advance to the Super Bowl. The Patriots will do whatever they can to take Fournette away from the Jaguars offense and dare QB Blake Bortles to beat them.
