The next few days will be nervous ones for Jaguars coaches, as they await further word on the status of their latest first-round pick to injure himself in the spring.
According to Peter King of TheMMQB.com, Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey is getting a second opinion on his torn meniscus from Dr. James Andrews either today or tomorrow, though the team is still hoping to hear good news.
“Jalen will play a lot of football for us this year,” Jaguars General Manager Dave Caldwell said. “It’s not anywhere near as severe as Dante’s.”
Dante, of course, is 2015 first-round pick Dante Fowler, who tore his ACL last May in minicamp and was lost for the season.
The Jaguars are also expected to dispute the reports Ramsey had a previous microfracture surgery, which only bolsters their confidence that the injury may not be as drastic as the one which cost Fowler to miss his entire first season.
