Jaguars FS James Sample to miss fifth straight game

Rookie free safety James Sample did not practice after being limited Wednesday and Thursday and will miss his fifth straight game because of a shoulder injury.

Bradley said Sample has “some issues,” within the shoulder but said putting him on injured reserve has not been discussed.

Sample said he underwent tests Friday morning and didn’t know he had been ruled out for the Ravens game until told by the Times-Union.

“I had to go and see if the nerves in my arm were working right and they’re good,” he said. “It hasn’t gotten worse. It’s slowly getting better and that’s frustrating because I’ll feel I’m ready to go and then feel some pain.
