In the 2014 draft, the Jaguars took a pair of wide receivers in the second round with hopes of injecting some life into their passing game.
They hit on Allen Robinson with one of those picks and scored again when they signed Allen Hurns as an undrafted free agent, but Marqise Lee’s time in Jacksonville hasn’t been as successful. A string of injuries, including a hamstring issue last summer, have limited his availability and productivity.
Lee was on the field for OTAs, but the injury bug has reared its head again early in camp. Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports that Lee is sitting out Friday’s practice because of a left hamstring injury. There’s no word on how much time it will cost Lee, but any time lost is a negative for a player who has already missed so much action in his first two seasons.
Adding Lee to Robinson and Hurns has a lot of promise for the continued improvement of the Jacksonville offense, but it will remain something the Jags have to look at as a bonus until Lee shows he can remain on the field.
