Jaguars lose rookie linebacker Ventrell Miller for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon

Associated Press  

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars rookie linebacker Ventrell Miller will miss the season after rupturing his right Achilles tendon in the team’s preseason finale against Miami. A fourth-round draft pick from Florida, Miller had been battling Shaq Quarterman for a backup spot behind starters Foye Oluokun and Devin Lloyd. But Jacksonville felt Miller was worth a low-risk gamble even though he missed most of the 2021 season with a torn biceps and played nine games last fall with a broken foot. Pederson said defensive lineman Foley Fatukasi is expected to return to practice this week while backup offensive linemen Josh Wells and Cooper Hodges are considered week to week.
