The Jaguars were also without Antonio Johnson this past game, as he works through an ankle injury. Coen says he will"hopefully" have a better feel on Tuesday if Johnson can return to practice.

Without Murray or Johnson, Rayuan Lane and Kaevon Merriweather handled the safety snaps. Rookie Jalen Huskey is also a candidate in Anthony Campanile's defense, which often features

three players at this position.

This season, Murray has made 14 total tackles and has held opponents to 6.0 yards per catch on only three receptions.
