second-year lineman Chris Reed getting starting time . Right tackle Jermey Parnell injured his knee in the waning moments of the win over the Chargers , and Josh Wells has started there since .
Even with only 91 yards on the ground in last week ’ s loss , the Jaguars still rank No . 1 in the NFL in rushing offense .
Speaking of injuries , the wide receiver corps has been depleted as of late . Allen Robinson has been out since Week 1 with a knee injury , and Allen Hurns continues to recover from an ankle injury . Fourth-year receiver Marqise Lee had one catch for 13 yards last week but also a key drop on a late second-down play with seconds to play to kill the clock . Undrafted rookie Keelan Cole continues to develop in his first professional season ; he was targeted seven times with two catches against the Cardinals .
So far , Dede Westbrook has proven that he could be a difference-maker down the stretch . After posting three catches for 35 yards in his NFL debut against the Cleveland Browns in Week 11 , Westbrook was targeted a teamhigh 10 times last week with six catches for 41 yards .
In general , Jaguars pass catchers need to deliver more catches in key moments . Last week , wide receivers and tight ends were targeted 23 times and made only 11 receptions in the loss .
In the Week 7 game against the Colts , running back T . J . Yeldon ran for 122 yards and a touchdown on nine carries while Chris Ivory ran 17 times for 47 yards and a score . Rookie running back Leonard Fournette missed the game battling an ankle injury .
Blake Bortles threw for 330 yards on 18-of- 26 passing with a touchdown and a 124.7 rating . A total of 101 yards went to wide receiver Allen Hurns on five catches . Tight end Marcedes Lewis hauled in the touchdown , one of his four catches .
Today , the Jaguars offense faces a Colts defense that ranks 29th overall , including 30th against the pass and 13th against the run .
