Marqise Lee out two weeks reports Adam Schefter
By Daniel Lago
After going down with a hamstring injury in Wednesday’s full pad practice, second year wide receiver Marqise Lee is going to be out the next two weeks according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter:
Cardinals' Michael Floyd not only WR injured Wednesday. Jaguars' WR Marqise Lee strained his hamstring and will be out the next two weeks.

We knew Lee would at the very least miss Thursday’s practice, but we were still waiting to hear the extent of the injury. While not ideal, a strained hamstring is somewhat of a sigh of relief for a team that saw their top draft pick in Dante Fowler Jr. go down with a torn ACL.
Schefter is one of the most reliable reporters in all of sports, but it is worth noting that the team has not come out and confirmed the timeline for Lee’s injury.
Just asked around the building, not sure where Schefter got that 2 weeks number. Latest is what Gus said: Lee will not practice today

We’ll likely get an update either at the end of Thursday’s practice or Friday, but for now it’s probably safe to assume Lee won’t be practicing through next week. It’s a bit of a downer to see Lee struggling with injuries yet again, as it’s becoming more and more indicative of his penchant for missing time.
It might seem premature, but it appears Allen Hurns is assured of one of the top 2 starting receiver spots given the most recent injury to Lee.
