The Jaguars could be getting even better along its defensive line as rookie fourth-round selection Jay Tufele is set to make his return from the team’s injured reserve in short time.
Tufele was originally placed on the team’s reserve/injured list after he broke his hand in pre-game warmups against the Miami Dolphins in London on Oct. 17. He quickly had surgery on his hand shortly following that and has been out for several weeks. Over the past week, Tufele has been seen at practice sporting a cast, but only conditioning off to the side.
The Jaguars will have 21 days to activate Tufele, ready to resume the remainder of his rookie season.
