Jaguar Head coach Doug Pederson called Friday a “big day” to determine the availability of running back Tank Bigsby for Jacksonville’s Week 11 road game with the Detroit Lions.
Bigsby did not practice Wednesday or Thursday while nursing an ankle injury, which he suffered in Week 7 against the New England Patriots and worsened Sunday against the Vikings. Minnesota.
“Tank is going to leave today,” Pederson said Friday. “We’ll see. Optimistic, you know. But obviously, today will be a big day for him.”
Bigsby has totaled 519 yards and four touchdowns on 95 attempts this season and added three receptions for 36 yards.
Pederson revealed that Jacksonville starting left guard Ezra Cleveland will likely play against Detroit after missing the Jaguars’ last two games with an ankle injury suffered in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.
“Ezra should be good to go,” Pederson said.
Jacksonville vs. Detroit kicks off Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, at Ford Field.
