Speaking at his Thursday pre-practice press conference, head coach Doug Pederson provided a positive series of injury updates for the Jaguars.
Injury Updates
Pederson confirmed that Cooper Hodges won't need knee surgery for his patella injury. He did acknowledge the possibility that “Tugboat” could end up on injured reserve this season. However, at this time he would not confirm whether it would be a long-term IR scenario (where Hodges would be unable to rejoin the roster for the remainder of the season) or a short-term IR scenario (where he could potentially rejoin the team at a later date).
