The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without their standout linebacker Myles Jack for the clash against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. According to multiple reports, Jack is dealing with a back injury and didn’t travel with the team to London, where the game is being played.

The decision was somewhat expected, considering that Jack didn’t practice the entire week. The 26-year-old got hurt in Week 5 game against the Tennessee Titans.

The Jaguars will look for their first win in 2021 against the Dolphins, but the task will be much harder without Jack on their defense. The UCLA product has been playing well despite Jacksonville’s struggles and is leading the team with 36 tackles throughout the first five games.

In Jack’s absence, the Jags will most likely have to turn to either their 2020’s fourth-round pick Shaquille Quarterman or third-year player Dakota Allen. Both players spent the majority of this season playing on special teams and didn’t contribute much on defense.

Quarterman, who has nine tackles for the year, played 45 snaps on defense and 77 snaps on special teams. Allen’s defensive contributions are even slimmer, with 13 snaps on defense and 113 snaps on special teams.

Things are definitely not going well for Jacksonville Jaguars this season. The team has announced on Thursday that they have placed linebacker Myles Jack on the injured reserve list, ending his 2019 season.

Jack missed last week’s game against Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a knee injury and hasn’t practiced this week. The game against Buccs was the first missed game for the 24-year-old since he entered the league in 2016.

Jacksonville also confirmed that the team has promoted LB Joe Giles-Harris from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Myles Jack was in the mid of a disappointing season in which he only made 66 tackles and one interception while adding just half of a sack. This drop-in production was unexpected, especially since the Jaguars gave him a $57 million extension in the offseason. This new deal, which runs through 2023, carries $33 million guaranteed and makes Jack one of the highest-paid inside linebackers in the league.

Jack’s career stats include 287 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two interceptions, and one defensive touchdown.
