According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Ivory will be reevaluated later in the week and his status for the team’s second game will hinge on what’s revealed. As long as Ivory is sidelined, T.J. Yeldon will handle the bulk of the touches out of the Jaguars’ backfield. Ivory is “in pain” and more tests are being done by doctors to come up with a treatment plan, Schefter reported. He set career highs in receptions (30) and receiving yards (217), too.
