Marcedes Lewis Injury: Updates on Jaguars TE's Ankle and Return

Timothy RappSep 15, 2014

The Jacksonville Jaguars continue to see their top options in the passing game go down to injury, as now tight end Marcedes Lewis could be out for up to two months.    

John Oehser of Jaguars.com has more:

Cecil Shorts has already missed the team's first two games to injury, while Week 1 breakout star Allen Hurns left the stadium on crutches, per Rotoworld, though his injury isn't deemed to be terribly serious, per Oehser:

Regardless, Chad Henne will have a diminished passing attack at their disposal this week. Losing a safety valve like Lewis certainly hurts—the tight end has eight receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown this year. 

A reliable target and safety blanket for the quarterback, Lewis' long stint on the sidelines is just another blow to an 0-2 Jaguars team that hasn't had much momentum thus far in the 2014 season.
