Marquise Lee Out For Season With Knee Surgery

Aug 27, 2018 2:51 PM

Marqise Lee will miss the 2018 season because of the knee injury he suffered in the Jacksonville Jaguars' third preseason game. 

The Jaguars didn't specify the nature of the injury but he will undergo surgery.

Lee, who signed a four-year, $34 million contract ($16.5 million guaranteed) in March, is the Jaguars' most experienced receiver, with 171 catches for 2,166 yards and eight touchdowns in four seasons with the team. 

"I feel very confident about the players that we have at that position," Doug Marrone said. "I still it as competition there. We're not settled on some of the spots at receiver, but we feel that we're good enough to go into the season with the guys that we think can make the team."

Jalen Ramsey Critical Of Josh Allen, Matt Ryan

Aug 15, 2018 4:53 PM

Jalen Ramsey was critical of several quarterbacks in an interview with GQ.

Ramsey called Josh Allen "trash" and said Matt Ryan is "overrated."

Ramsey noted that Allen struggled as Wyoming's starter against Power 5 schools and said he hopes to face Allen when the Jaguars play at Buffalo on Nov. 25.

"I think Allen is trash," Ramsey said in the GQ piece. "I don't care what nobody say. He's trash. And it's gonna show too. That's a stupid draft pick to me. We play them this year, and I'm excited as hell. I hope he's their starting quarterback. He played at Wyoming. Every time they played a big school -- like, they played Iowa State, which is not a big school in my opinion because I went to Florida State, and he threw five interceptions, and they lost by a couple touchdowns or something like that. He never beat a big school.

"If you look at his games against big schools, it was always hella interceptions, hella turnovers. It's like: Yo, if you're this good, why couldn't you do better? He fits that mold, he's a big, tall quarterback. Big arm, supposedly. I don't see it, personally."

Ramsey also was critical of Ryan.

"I think Matt Ryan's overrated," Ramsey said. "You can't tell me you win MVP two years ago, and then last year, you a complete bust, and you still got Julio Jones? There's no way that should ever happen. I don't care. You know what that tells me? That tells me Shanahan left, went to San Francisco, got Garoppolo, made Garoppolo this big thing. And now Garoppolo is a big name -- and now [Ryan] has this bad year?

"Alright, well, was it really you, or was it your coach? He was doing what was asked of him and it was making him look really, really good."
