Notable injuries
Pittsburgh’s star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick left the game about five minutes into the game after pulling his hamstring. Jacksonville defensive backs Tyson Campbell, Andre Cisco, and Gregory Junior were held out of today’s contest due to hamstring injuries as well.
Kenny Pickett hurt his ribs just before the end of the first half and was relieved by Mitchell Trubisky.
Travis Etienne left the game on the first drive on the second half due to an ankle injury, but he returned in the same quarter.

One lingering question
Which position(s) should the Jaguars trade for before Tuesday’s trade deadline? Edge rusher has been an obvious answer all season, but perhaps the team should consider adding to its offense instead. Travis Etienne could use a backfield mate, and Tank Bigsby (3 carries, 9 yards, lost fumble) ain’t it. The interior offensive line and wide receiver rooms could also use more depth as players (Walker Little and Zay Jones) work their way back from injuries.
