A.J. Bouye – Noteworthy
CB A.J. Bouye and Jaguars coach Doug Marrone weren’t on the same page on Wednesday regarding Bouye’s playing in Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. Bouye declined to talk to reporters in the locker room, explaining that he wasn’t going to play on Sunday against the Colts due to a calf injury that sidelined him in London in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. But when reporters met with Marrone less than an hour later, he called Bouye’s status uncertain for Sunday even though he didn’t practice that day. Marrone was surprised and seemed perturbed when told that Bouye had already ruled himself out of the game. “Did he? That’s news to me,” Marrone said. “I guess I’ll have to talk to him about that. That’s not what the trainer told me. He did say that? OK, we will take care of that. That’s not been told to me by the trainer. That’s the truth.”
Blake Bortles – Noteworthy
QB Blake Bortles has a 95.9 passer rating in eight career games against Indianapolis, the second-highest rating he has for any opponent (New England, 99.2) that he has faced multiple times.
Calais Campbell – Noteworthy
DE Calais Campbell posted his fifth sack of the season in Week 8 against Philadelphia and has totaled at least 5.0 sacks in 10 consecutive seasons dating to 2009. Campbell and Panthers DE Julius Peppers are the only active players with 10 straight seasons of 5.0-plus sacks.
D.J. Hayden – Noteworthy – Injury
CB D.J. Hayden, who has missed six consecutive games, practiced in full on Wednesday and looks ready to play in his first game since Week 2. Hayden has been sidelined with a toe injury.
Donte Moncrief – Noteworthy
WR Donte Moncrief returns to Indianapolis for the first time since leaving the Colts during the offseason and signing a one-year, $9.6 million contract with the Jaguars. Moncrief was drafted by the Colts in the third round in 2014 and spent four seasons with the franchise, catching 152 passes for 1,875 yards and 18 touchdowns. “Any time you leave somewhere, you’ve got family, you’ve got friends and the friendships that you made there. So yeah, it was pretty tough (to leave Indianapolis),” Moncrief said.
James O’Shaughnessy – Noteworthy – Injury
TE James O’Shaughnessy returned to practice Wednesday on a limited basis. O’Shaughnessy suffered a hip injury in the Dallas game and missed the game against Philadelphia in Week 8.
Josh Lambo – Noteworthy
