While the Jaguars are hopeful that one of their impact players will be on the field this Sunday, the Giants are likely just hoping they get Cruz back this season.

The status of Baltimore’s offensive line is the biggest question injury-wise going into Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.
“Yeah, I think we talked about it yesterday that he came through it with the limited reps he had to see how he is today”, said Bradley when asked of Lee’s availability for Sunday against the Ravens.
“Brent looked good. He’s coming along really well”, Harbaugh said.
According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, Baltimore is favored at home, as the Ravens are getting odds of -5.5 points against the Jaguars. The Ravens, like the Jaguars, are 2-6, and winning a crucial road game would help build momentum for the second half of the season. The over/under for this game is 47.5 total points.
The Ravens are now 13th in the AFC table, which doesn’t sound like a team on the precipice of another playoff appearance.
Hurns has a touchdown catch is six consecutive games. His counterpart Hurns got the better of Antonio Cromartie and finished with five receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown. “We need to be 1-0 this week, and we have a lot of 1-0’s in front of us that we have to take care of before that stuff can be reality”. Baltimore still has high hopes for injured first-round pick Breshad Perriman, and the team takes pride in how Torrey Smith became a coveted deep threat.
“It’s definitely not impossible, not for a Ravens football team”, Smith said.
So, it doesn’t really matter that Baltimore has won 11 of its past 12 at home in November and is 46-13 on its own turf in seven-plus seasons under coach John Harbaugh. Rookie quarterback at the time Joe Flacco probably had his best game of the year going 17-23 for 297 yards.
In a conference call with Harbaugh this week, one member of the Jacksonville media commented that Baltimore’s wide receivers don’t look risky without Steve Smith.
That puts the Ravens’ destiny, for the most part, in their own hands.
Jarvis Landry/Rishard Matthews AT Philadelphia Eagles: Landry and Matthews have been monsters all year long and this week they are playing a team that has given up the 3 most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
Luckily, banged up starting wide receiver Allen Hurns returned to practice after missing the previous two sessions earlier in the week. The “Leo” ends and returning defensive tackle Sen’Derrick Marks haven’t delivered as of late, but this weekend poses as good as a chance as any to turn it around.

Marks leads the Jaguars’ solid run defense. And other guys, who you might not have anticipated, just blossom because you didn’t always see them doing it in college.
