The Jacksonville Jaguars placed left tackle Anton Harrison on the Injured Reserve list just a few days after he sustained a knee injury in the 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. With Harrison expected to miss at least four weeks, Walker Little is the next man up.

But aside from Harrison, the Jags could be a handful of players when they play the Houston Texans in their second London game. Jacksonville dropped the initial injury report for Week 6. Cornerback Montaric Brown (hamstring) and long snapper Ross Matiscik (shoulder) were listed as non-participants.

Matiscik's inclusion wasn't particularly surprising, given that he also left the Eagles game with a shoulder injury. Heck, the team already signed long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer to fill in for him. That said, Brown has been dealing with a hamstring injury for a few games and could be at risk of sitting out his second contest of the season.

Montaric Brown and Ross Matisck did not practice for the Jaguars

Aside from Ross Matiscik and Montaric Browns, the Jaguars listed other players on their Injury Report: Safety Eric Murray (concussion), right tackle Cole Van Lanen (knee), left guard Emmanuel Pregnon (toe), cornerback Jourdan Lewis (hamstring), cornerback Jaylon Jones (hamstring), cornerback Jarrian Jones (elbow), and rookie tight end Nate Boerkircher (back) were limited in practice Wednesday.

Some of these players may have been limited participants because the team wants them to be ready Sunday. That said, all of them will be worth monitoring. Murray, in particular, has been dealing with a concussion and has yet to clear protocol. If he isn't good to go against the Texans, Keavon Merriweather and Rayuan Lane III will see an uptick in playing time for the second week in a row.

On the other hand, Boerkircher has carved out a niche as a blocker. If he weren't available, Quintin Morris and Tanner Koziol will see an uptick in playing time.

Van Lanen and Pregnon could be the biggest concerns of the bunch, though. If they aren't good to go, Waytt Milum and Daniel Faalele could step into their respective spots. That wouldn't be ideal when you take into account that the Jags are already without Anton Harrison.

The Jaguars may not have ideal CB depth vs. the Texans

Montaric Brown sat out the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He played against Philadelphia but only logged six snaps. There were no reports that Brown got injured again, so it's possible that they just wanted him to rest Wednesday. But if he misses the Texans game, Jarrian Jones, Travis Hunter, and Jourdan Lewis will be the team's top cornerbacks.

The issue is that Lewis and Jones also made an appearance on the injury report. This doesn't mean that they'll miss the London game, but there's a chance they could. That means Alijah Huzzie could get extended playing time.

The Texans are coming off their first win of the season and will be incentivized to get the second one i Week 6. It will be up to the Jaguars to stall their momentum, which could be tough if they're missing a handful of key contributors. Then again, there are two days left before the final injury report comes up. We'll have a better picture of just how healthy they are then.
