The Jacksonville Jaguars got positive news in the last injury report for the Week 13 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Right tackle Anton Harrison, cornerback Jourdan Lewis, and wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. will be available for the divisional bout. Having said that, Jacksonville will also be without a handful of key players.
Defensive end Travon Walker was once again ruled out with a knee injury. Similarly, right guard Patrick Mekari (concussion), offensive lineman Chuma Edoga (calf), and Eric Murray (neck) won't suit up against the Tennessee Titans.
Then again, Murray returned to practice after getting his 21-day window opened but remains on Injured Reserve. It's possible that the team's brass may not have wanted to rush him back and instead wait until next week to activate him.
Still, having Harrison, Thomas, and Lewis back will be huge. The three could give the Jaguars the boost they need to solidify their chances of making the playoffs and even seizing the AFC South in Year 1 of the Liam Coen era.
The Jaguars are elevating Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig and Matt Dickerson
The team announced one day before the game that it elevated defensive lineman Matt Dickerson and defensive back Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig to the active roster via standard elevation. Both will provide depth in the front four and the secondary, respectively.
Dickeron has been promoted each of the past two games and logged 15 total snaps on defense. Silmon-Craig, on the other hand, played his first NFL game against the Arizona Cardinals. He didn't get any playing time, though.
On a related note, Arik Armstead is warming up pre-game with a white covering/cast on the left hand, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. He was downgraded to questionable Saturday. There's a chance he will sit this one out.

How will the Jaguars replace Travon Walker and Patrick Mekari?
The Jaguars were without Travon Walker against the Arizona Cardinals. To replace him, they leaned on Danny Striggow, Dawuane Smoot, and B.J. Hill. Striggow was the most productive of the bunch, logging three total pressures. Defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile will once again rely on the pass-rush trio to bring the heat opposite Josh Hines-Allen.
On the opposite side of the ball, Cole Van Lanen will fill in for Mekari at right guard. He made the start at right tackle in relief of Anton Harrison in the Cardinals game and has shown the versatility to play different positions throughout the season.
The fourth-year veteran will line up against Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, so this matchup could be one of the most important ones in the season. It will also allow him to keep boosting his stock ahead of free agency next year.
