NFL Week 14 Inactives Rundown: Jaguars Missing Top Target, Defensive Boost Comes Just in Time
As Week 14 kicks off with several pivotal matchups across the league, the Jacksonville Jaguars head into a crucial AFC South showdown against the Colts without their top pass-catcher. Wide receiver Parker Washington, who leads the team with 36 receptions this season, has been ruled inactive due to a hip injury. He was listed as questionable leading up to Sunday but ultimately couldn’t get the green light.
That’s a big loss for Jacksonville in a game with serious divisional implications. Washington has emerged as a reliable safety valve in the passing game, especially in key third-down situations.
His absence will force the Jaguars to lean more heavily on their remaining receiving corps, and it puts added pressure on quarterback play and offensive rhythm. Expect the Jaguars to look for production from deeper in the depth chart and potentially rely more on their ground game to balance the offense.
But it’s not all bad news for Jacksonville. On defense, two key pieces are suiting up despite being listed as questionable during the week.
Defensive linemen Arik Armstead (hand) and Travon Walker (back) are both active, giving the Jaguars’ front seven a much-needed boost. With the Colts offense showing signs of life recently, particularly in the run game, having both Armstead and Walker available could be a difference-maker.
Their presence should help contain the edges and apply pressure up front-something Jacksonville will need if they want to control the tempo and keep the Colts off schedule.
