Will Rackley injury: Jaguars guard says he has a sprain, no structural damage

The Jacksonville Jaguars saw offensive guard Will Rackley go down with a leg injury early against the Philadelphia Eagles, and there was some concern it could be a long term injury. Rackley had an X-ray and MRI on his leg, the X-ray coming back negative.

Rackley told reporters on Monday that he just has a sprain and there is no major structural damage.

It's unlikely that Rackley plays against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday as a precautionary measure.

Rackley has dealt with injuries his whole career to date, including sitting out the 2012 season with an injury he suffered early in training camp.
