Today will not be the first time ever in his professional career that veteran defensive lineman Tyson Alualu finds himself on the inactive list. a top-10 selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2010 NFL Draft, the eighth-year player has missed two games before over that span of time.
But today’s game will be the first that he misses due to injury. That is, of course, assuming that he ends up not playing. He suffered a shoulder injury during the season opener against the Cleveland Browns and is listed as doubtful after not practicing during the week.
