The Jacksonville Jaguars won’t have their best defensive back for Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, as Jalen Ramsey will not play following an injury to his hand on Friday.
Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey jammed his hand going for the ball in practice and is questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona.

Just asked Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey if he is going to be able to play Sunday against Arizona and he said no.

The Cardinals aren’t exactly scaring teams right now on the offensive side of the ball, but we cannot discount how much losing Ramsey affects Jacksonville. Arizona still has a ton of talent at the receiver position, and Ramsey is one of the best (if not the best) cornerbacks in the NFL.
So far this year, Ramsey has 36 tackles and two interceptions. He has also routinely shut down the best receiver of opposing teams, including the likes of A.J. Green, who got so upset he ended up getting tossed after viciously attacking Ramsey.
Without the talented cornerback, it’ll be up to Jacksonville’s outstanding defensive front to supply enough pressure to keep the Cardinals from taking advantage.
