RB Corey Grant suffered an ankle injury, what has been referred to as a LisFranc injury that will sideline him for the remainder of the 2018 season. Grant had appeared in 28 straight regular-season games for the Jaguars dating back to November of 2016.

D.J. Chark Jr. – Noteworthy
WR D.J. Chark had just two receptions for 19 yards on six targets in the Jaguars’ first four games this season, but the rookie receiver came up big with two catches of 38 and 30 yards against the Chiefs. Neither catch led to a score, however, as the Jaguars punted on one drive and Bortles threw an interception on the other.

Josh Lambo – Noteworthy
PK Josh Lambo did not add to his streak of 19 consecutive field goals as the Jaguars passed up several opportunities to kick field goals against the Chiefs. Lambo did convert on two extra-point tries and successfully pulled off an onside kick by recovering his own squib kickoff in the fourth quarter.

Josh Walker – Noteworthy
OT Josh Walker saw his first action of the 2018 season when he filled in for the injured Josh Wells in the second half of Sunday’s game in Kansas City. Walker played four snaps as a replacement in the Indianapolis game last December and saw action on special teams against the Los Angeles Chargers that year as well. He had previously played in 13 games with Green Bay in 2015 and two games with Houston in 2016.

Josh Wells – Noteworthy – Injury
LT Josh Wells left Sunday’s game against Kansas City with a groin injury and did not return. He will be a day-to-day situation, with his status for the upcoming game against Dallas to be determined later in the week.
