Jaguars get Antonio Johnson back at practice vs. Colts, but there’s a catch

Jacksonville Jaguars safety Antonio Johnson and cornerback Montaric Brown returned to practice Wednesday following the team's bye week. However, head coach Liam Coen indicated that it remains uncertain whether either defender will be ready to play against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Johnson is recovering from a shoulder injury sustained against Houston, while Brown has missed time with a hamstring issue.

Jacksonville's coaching staff plans to evaluate both players during padded practice sessions before making a determination. If Johnson cannot play, Rayuan Lane III is projected to start at safety alongside Eric Murray. The Jaguars are aiming to improve their pass defense against an Indianapolis offense led by quarterback Daniel Jones.
