Marcell Dareus Placed On Injured Reserve
5 years agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars placed defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (abdomen) on the Injured Reserve on Friday and signed free-agent defensive tackle Akeem Spence to the active roster in a corresponding move. Dareus could be designated to return later this season, but the Jaguars will basically be without him for the rest of the regular season. It's a downgrade to the team's run defense, although Jacksonville's defensive front is still pretty solid. Spence was recently cut by the Eagles, but he'll provide valuable depth up front. The Jags defense is a solid unit to employ in fantasy this week against Jets QB Sam Darnold, who turned the ball over five times in Week 7.
