The Jacksonville Jaguars were fortunate with injuries for six quarters, with no serious ailments reported from the Baltimore Ravens game on Nov. 6 and through the first half of their game vs. the Tennessee Titans on Nov. 15 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
Then the Jaguars lost two key defensive players on the opening drive of the third quarter.

Safety Antonio Johnson went down after a third-down incompletion by Titans quarterback Cam Ward, a play after it was announced that Jaguars defensive end Danny Striggow had to come out and be evaluated for a concussion.
The Jaguars quickly reported that Striggow was ruled out for the rest of the game. He was backing up Travon Walker. The third-team player at that position, rookie Wesley Williams, was made inactive before the game.
However, Johnson was able to return after being treated on the sideline. He has already missed a game with an ankle injury this season. Depth in the secondary was one of the reasons to the Jaguars traded for safety Jessie Bates III of Atlanta, but Bates was declared inactive for the game because the Falcons had not yet had a bye week.

Johnson’s immediate backup is rookie Jalen Huskey, who has struggled this season when given the chance to play.
