Marqise Lee (hammy) out vs. Colts

NFL, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jaguars' bad-luck receiving corps took another hit on Thursday when the team announced rookie Marqise Lee would miss Sunday's game against Indianapolis because of a hamstring injury.

Lee becomes the fourth receiver who is either definitely out or might miss the game against the Colts at EverBank Field. The status of rookie Allen Hurns (ankle) and veteran Cecil Shorts III (hamstring) will be determined closer to game time. Ace SandersĀ has two games to go on his four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

Lee first experienced hamstring tightness during practice on Sept. 10 but played against Washington last Sunday. He aggravated the injury during Wednesday's practice. His availability beyond this Sunday's game is uncertain.

"My main focus is getting it right," said Lee, who is tied for the team lead with eight catches for 73 yards. "The hamstring can linger. If you try to continue to try to come back, come back, come back when you're feeling 85, 90 [percent], you're still going to have issues."

Hurns injured his ankle during the loss to the Redskins and he is listed as day to day. He did not practice Wednesday. Shorts has missed the first two games with tightness in his left hamstring. He was limited in practice Wednesday.

The lone healthy receivers on the active roster are second-round pick Allen Robinson (five catches), second-year player Mike Brown (35 career catches), andĀ Tavarres King, a second-year player the Jaguars claimed off waivers from Carolina on Tuesday.
