Jaguars Linebacker Devin Lloyd Returns to Limited Practice Ahead Week 9 vs Raiders

The upcoming Week 9 NFL game between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Jacksonville Jaguars is a significant matchup as both teams look to gain momentum in the second half of the season. The Raiders are preparing at home in Allegiant Stadium, with several key players like wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and quarterback Aidan O'Connell fully participating in practice, while defensive stars Maxx Crosby and Adam Butler were limited due to injuries. On the Jaguars' side, linebacker Devin Lloyd, who had been sidelined since Week 6 due to a calf injury, returned to limited practice and could potentially play against the Raiders, providing a much-needed boost to their defense. Lloyd has been a standout player this season, with four interceptions and being named AFC Defensive Player of the Month in September, making his potential return highly impactful. However, the Jaguars still face injury concerns with several players limited or out, including wide receivers Dyami Brown and Brian Thomas, and safety Eric Murray, who is likely out due to a neck injury. Both teams are closely monitoring player health as they prepare for this key AFC South matchup.
