In the midst of preparation, the Saints engaged in a walkthrough on Tuesday, perhaps a strategic choice given the lengthy list of injured players. The report highlights key players such as tight end Juwan Johnson, tackle Ryan Ramczyk, and linebacker Demario Davis, all marked DNP for both Monday and Tuesday. There’s a glint of hope as Derek Carr, previously limited, is now up for full participation.

The Jaguars aren’t without their challenges either. Trevor Lawrence, their standout quarterback, has been limited due to a knee injury but showed signs of progress by participating on Tuesday. The absence of key players like cornerback Tyson Campbell and wide receiver Zay Jones, both listed as DNP, might test the Jaguars’ depth.
The evolving situation warrants attention as both teams make their final adjustments, with hopes pinned on players making swift recoveries in time for the spotlighted game.
