AFC Notes: Broncos, Jaguars, Jets, Raiders, Titans

Broncos

  • Broncos’ practice squad RB Jonathan Williams had interest from the Chiefs,ย Vikings, and Jetsย before agreeing to a deal with Denver. This is likely why Williams was able to secure such an impressive salary for a practice squad member.

Jaguars

  • Jaguars QB Blake Bortlesย said he is 100 percent recovered from his wrist injury:ย โ€œIt feels goodโ€ฆ Good to goโ€ฆ A hundred percent.โ€ (John Oesher)
  • Jaguars HC Doug Marrone mentioned he is still undecided who will be their starting left guard: “We are still moving people through.โ€ (John Oesher)
  • According to Oehser,ย Patrick Omameh, Earl Watford, Josh Wells, and Tyler Shatley are all competing for the left guard role.
  • Marrone declined to say whether Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) will be out for Week 1.

Raiders

Raiders HC Jack Del Rio said the team will continue to monitor K Sebastian Janikowski, who wound up on the injury report with a back issue amidst a recent contract dispute.

I’m not good about forecasting things,” Del Rio said, via Michael Wagaman of the Associated Press. “We’ll see how he goes through the work week. There was concern early in the week that we’ll need to see how he does, how he responds. We had some kickers come in here to make sure that we’re prepared in the case that he’s not able to go that we’re covered. That’s really it.

When asked about the Janikowski’s contract situation, Del Rio said rumors “took on a life of its own” and that the team is doing their “due diligence.”

I think it kind of took on a life of its own,” Del Rio said. “A lot of people reporting and speculating but we’re just doing our due diligence and we’ll see how the week goes.”
