AFC South Notes: Colts, Jaguars, Titans

Colts

• Per Joel Erickson of the Indianapolis Star, Colts HC Frank Reich said the team is optimistic the week off helped QB Jacoby Brissett and will evaluate Wednesday if he’ll be able to start: “If Jacoby is healthy, he’s our starting quarterback, and he’ll go.”
• After Colts K Adam Vinatieri struggled again on Sunday, Reich wouldn’t confirm if the team was discussing a change at the position: “I’ll give the same answer, it’s all being evaluated every week, especially this week.” (Kevin Bowen)
• Colts WR Devin Funchess should return to practice this week, while WR T.Y. Hilton remains day-to-day. (Erickson)
• The Colts cut WR Deon Cain as a wake-up call and still plan to try to develop him after re-signing him to the practice squad. (Stephen Holder)
• Colts RB Jordan Wilkins should be fine after exiting Sunday’s game with an ankle injury. (Erickson)

Jaguars

• Per John Oehser of the team website, Jaguars HC Doug Marrone says LB Jake Ryan should return to practice Monday. Ryan has been on the non-football injury list with a knee injury. 

Titans

Titans OT Taylor Lewan has struggled with penalties so far this year. Lewan has nine penalties in six games in 2019 following his four-game suspension to start the season, including three in Sunday’s upset win against the Chiefs. 

“Before we even start this whole thing, my penalties are a f–king problem,” Lewan said via ESPN’s Turron Davenport. “I am 100 percent an issue with that. It is not intentional. I do not mean to do it. My intentions are good. I am just trying to finish. And it is killing the team. . . . I am completely screwing the team with the amount of penalties I have had these last — what — six games. . . . It’s horrible. I cannot get penalties. I am sorry. There is no need to ask me about it because I know I am an absolute liability when it comes to penalties.”
