AFC South Notes: Colts, Jaguars, Titans

Colts

Jaguars

Jaguars LB Myles Jack apologized for his ejection during Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. 

โ€œFirst and foremost, I have to apologize to my team and the city of Jacksonville because that is not how we conduct ourselves in any way,โ€ Jack said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œIn the heat of the moment, I just felt like when Sammy Watkins ran a route that was not a route and came and hit me underneath my chin, I put my hands up and he stood over me and said something to me so I pushed him and next thing I know, someone pushed me from behind. I did not see any flags thrown so at that point I felt like I needed to defend myself from the altercation that was going on after the play. At the end of the day, I apologize for that and it will not happen again.โ€

Jaguars QB Nick Foles had surgery Monday morning to repair a broken left clavicle suffered in his Jacksonville debut against the Chiefs Sunday. It’s the second time Foles has suffered a broken collarbone in his career, with the first injury limiting him to eight games with the Eagles in 2014. Foles doesn’t yet have a timeline for this injury.

โ€ณSame side. Different place on the collarbone,โ€ณ Foles said via Jacksonville.com’s John Reid. โ€ณThe one in 2014 didnโ€™t need surgery. It was a hairline fracture, so it was a different situation. This was a complete crack. We donโ€™t have a time span, but Iโ€™m going to do everything I can to get back as quickly as I can to where Iโ€™m ready to roll. I knew when I hit the ground something was wrong. I felt it.โ€ณ

  • Chris Mortensen says for now the Jaguars are happy to proceed with sixth-round QB Gardner Minshew as the starter. 
  • Jaguars WR D.J. Chark said the rookie was “fearless” in his debut in relief of Foles, breaking the franchise record for completion percentage in the process: “We were upset Nick was out but there was never a point when we said, โ€˜dang โ€ฆ now we have to go with Gardner.โ€™ We knew we had to elevate our play and make him feel comfortable and he made us feel comfortable.โ€ (Garry Smits)
