Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns was a physical one for the Jacksonville Jaguars. This team is much more of a finesse team, rather than beating you down and taking advantage that way. I'm not saying the team doesn't have some tough guys because they do, but the Browns are built to beat teams down with their physicality.

And it worked.

The Jaguars left Cleveland with several injuries, as head coach Doug Pederson updated us on Monday.

"Ezra [OL Ezra Cleveland], I believe it was his knee that he felt in the game," Pederson started. "Everything checked out well this morning today. He'll be day-to-day. Obviously, he's sore. Cisco [S Andre Cisco] has a groin [injury]; those are a little bit different injuries, obviously, much like a hamstring or quad. He'll be day-to-day, but we just got to see how he feels as the week progresses."

There were two pretty key players who missed the game against the Browns due to injuries, but those two could both see some reps this week.

"Yeah, optimistic," Pederson said. "We'll see these in the next couple of days and when we get to Wednesday. I'm optimistic that he can maybe get some reps. He and [TE] Brenton Strange both possibly this week."

The most important news is how Trevor Lawrence is feeling after his injury from Week 13. He played Sunday with a high ankle sprain, and usually, when you do that, it can aggravate something or possibly get very, very sore.

"[He's] fine. We'll be careful with it, but right now, being a Monday, if we had to practice today, he'd probably not. But if he comes back Wednesday, he should be good to go," Pederson told reporters.

The Jaguars are now on a two-game losing streak, sitting at 8-5. They need all hands on deck this week as they are going to face one of the best teams in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens, on Sunday Night Football.
