Cardinals vs. Jags injury report: Cann, Smith upgraded to full participation

The Jacksonville Jaguars had four upgrades occur on their injury report on Thursday. That included guard A.J. Cann (hamstring) and pass-rusher Jordan Smith (knee), who went from being limited on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday.

The other two upgrades were to center Brandon Linder (back) and defensive lineman Jay Tufele (illness), who went from not practicing on Wednesday to being limited on Thursday.

Unfortunately, there was also one player who was downgraded, and that was a starter in cornerback CJ Henderson. He did not practice Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. It appears the Jags have been preparing to not have him, though, as they signed veteran cornerback Nevin Lawson.

Veteran receiver Marvin Jones Jr. also didn’t practice on Thursday, but it was to rest. He led the team in receiving Sunday with six catches for 55 yards and the team probably wants him as close to 100% as possible against the Arizona Cardinals, who have one of the hottest offenses in the NFL.

Of the remaining players on the report, Laviska Shenault Jr. (shoulder) and Lerenetee McCray (hamstring) participated fully for their second straight days, while defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris and cornerback Tre Herndon remained limited.
