Walker

Little

This will be Little’s second straight absence with a concussion. Concerning, though we would imagine he will be back on Trevor Lawrence’s blindside for Week 16.

Little did not practice all week. Cole Van Lanen would seem likely to take over at left tackle in Week 14. The Jaguars also ruled out S Andrew Wingard with a concussion of his own.

Little remains sidelined for the Jaguars’ second practice, putting Week 14 availability even more in doubt than it was yesterday. He is backed up by versatile OG Cole Van Lanen. The Jaguars face a Colts defender missing DT DeForest Buckner (neck) this week.

Little sustained a concussion in the first half of the Jags’ Week 13 win over the Titans. The team ruled him out after halftime. Cole Van Lanen took his spot in the lineup. Van Lanen has taken snaps at every offensive line position but center this year, meaning the Jags have some flexibility in addressing Little’s likely absence this week.

Little entered concussion protocol late in the first half against the Titans and was officially ruled out in the third quarter. Cole Van Lanen rotated to play at left tackle while Wyatt Milum went to right guard; Little is out for the rest of Week 13 and his Week 14 availability is also in jeopardy as a result of the concussion.

Fellow offensive linemen Ezra Cleveland and Brandon Scherff were cleared from the injury report. Linebacker Ventrell Miller, questionable with an ankle injury, is the only other player on their report this week.

Little missed Week 17 with the ankle issue and is on track to sit for the team’s regular season finale as well. He was replaced by Cole Van Laden last week. Fellow offensive linemen Ezra Cleveland and Brandon Scherff were limited in Wednesday’s practice and should be good to go for Week 18.

No surprises for the Jaguars’ Week 17 inactives. Savage will miss this game due to a concussion. Meanwhile, Walker Little (ankle) is another significant inactive as he misses his first game of the season, leaving the left tackle position in lurch for the Jaguars in a battle of higher draft picks against the Titans.

The deal includes $26 million guaranteed and keeps little in Jacksonville through 2027. The former second-round pick opened the year as Cam Robinson’s backup. The Jags eventually moved on from Robinson via a trade to Minnesota, granting Little the starting job midseason. He has played well so far, allowing just two pressures and one sack in his four starts according to Pro Football Focus. Little was set to hit free agency in the offseason but played himself into a sizable deal to remain with the Jags.

Little started the Jags’ first four games at left tackle and then kicked into left guard once Cam Robinson returned from his suspension. He then went down with an MCL sprain and was unable to return in Week 5. Little is expected to miss a few weeks because of the knee issue but avoided a more serious injury.
