JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey will make his first appearance of the preseason when the Jaguars host the Panthers on Thursday night at EverBank Field.
Ramsey missed the Jaguars' first two preseason games in his recovery from offseason surgery to repair a core muscle injury and isn't expected to play very much against the Panthers, who likely will have quarterback Cam Newton on the field for the first time this preseason as well.
"Our plan is to get Jalen in there," coach Doug Marrone said Tuesday. "We feel like we're going to put him in there so we're excited about seeing him. He's had a good week. Without anything happening between now and the game, he should be playing."
Ramsey came off the physically able to perform list on Aug. 12 but was mainly limited to to individual work in the first week. He also did not play in the Jaguars' preseason game against Tampa Bay on Aug. 14.
Ramsey started every game as a rookie in 2016 and finished with 65 tackles, 14 pass breakups and two interceptions.
