The Jacksonville Jaguars are opening Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals with somewhat of a touching story.

Usually, the guys who are getting elevated from the practice squad get elevated a day before the game. In this case, the Jaguars did the same thing, but they didn't elevate just anyone.

If you have been following this team, then you know that the Jaguars have one of the best coaches in the league, Doug Pederson. They also have his son, Josh Pederson.

Josh Pederson is a tight end who has been on the practice squad. The Jaguars have been having some injury issues with a few of their tight ends, most notably Brenton Strange and Luke Farrell, who were both limited on the injury report this week.

That has opened up the ability for Josh Pederson to play on Monday Night Football. It's going to be a fun one.
