Following Week 5, Bradley said "he can't diminish factor of Posluszny being missed for his ability to call plays, get people lined up correctly," according to Frenette.

Posluszny also showing potential in pass coverage, intercepting his first pass in two years against the Panthers. Following Week 4, Posluszny has recorded 39 combined tackles (33 total, six assisted).

Rookie Thurston Armbrister is slotted as Posluszny's replacement on the Jaguars' official website. The undrafted free agent out of Miami recorded 38 tackles with the Hurricanes last season and has just two assisted tackles thus far.
