Jaguars inactives for Week 6 against the Bears

The Jacksonville Jaguars will be looking to start a winning streak when they face the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 6. Fresh off their first victory of the season, the Jags will tentatively be getting reinforcements on offense.

One day before the game, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reported that Evan Engram is making a big effort to suit up against Chicago. The tight end is listed as questionable for the game but head coach Doug Pederson also expressed optimism about the tight end's chances of being available, pointing out that he had a good week of practice.

During Engram's absence, sophomore Brenton Strange has come through, hauling in 10 receptions for 120 yards with two touchdowns. On the off chance his veteran counterpart doesn't suit up, the sophomore tight end will be making his fifth start in a row.

Apart from Engram, linebacker Yasir Abdullah (neck), wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder), and cornerback Tyson Campbell (hamstring) got the questionable designation.

Abdullah suited up for the first four games but was inactive for the win over Indy. Davis, for his part, hasn't sat out a contest thus far this season. Campbell, on the other hand, is unlikely to play. Pederson acknowledged as much ahead of the game. That said, it's encouraging to see the former Georgia Bulldog take a step forward in his recovery.

Campbell landed on Injured Reserve after hurting his hamstring in the opener but his 21-day window to practice was just activated. This means that he's close to returning but will still need a bit more time.

Heading into the game, the head coach also said that safety Andrew Wingard and linebacker Foyesade Olukokun are also trending in the right direction. The former suffered a knee injury in the preseason and the latter was placed on IR while he deals with plantar fasciitis.

On a related note, the team announced that its promoting safety Tanner Muse from the practice squad to the active roster for Week 6 via standard elevation.

Moreover, Tashaun Gipson nearly completes a six-game suspension he's serving after violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. He made the trip to London and could return as soon as Week 7, so he may suit up against the New England Patriots.

On the opposite sideline, the Bears could be without several key contributors. They already ruled out safety Jaquan Brisker and cornerback Terrell Smith as questionable. On top of that, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson got the doubtful designation, so the Chicago secondary could be vulnerable even with Jaylon Johnson in the fold.

With Johnson potentially shadowing rookie sensation Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis (if he plays) could get favorable looks on the opposite side of the field. With that in mind, here's the list of inactives for both teams in Week 6.
