Jaguars CB Tyson Campbell misses camp team drills with ankle injury

An ankle injury kept Jaguars cornerback Tyson Campbell out of Jacksonville’s training camp team drills for a second consecutive day on Saturday.

Campbell experienced the injury in the early portion of Friday’s practice, amid position drills with Jacksonville’s cornerbacks, per a Jaguars spokesperson. His right ankle was taped up on Saturday.

The Jaguars made Campbell one of the NFL’s highest-paid cornerbacks earlier this week, rewarding him with a four-year, $76.5 million contract extension when he reported for camp Tuesday.

In three seasons with Jacksonville, Campbell, the club’s No. 33 overall pick in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft, has recorded 203 tackles with six for loss, six interceptions, 30 defended passes, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries including one scoop-and-score.

“It’s a blessing. But at the same time, I’m doing all this to give the glory back to God and be the best at my position,” Campbell said about his extension Wednesday.

“So, the work doesn’t stop. I’m still hungry, still eager and still trying to be a leader for the young guys to be able to be in a position like this.”

Campbell was not Jacksonville’s only defensive back withheld from activity on Saturday, as safeties Andrew Wingard and Josh Proctor were both sidelined due to illnesses.

Rookie cornerback Jarrian Jones did not perform in team work but was active in position drills Saturday after briefly exiting practice Friday with an ankle injury. Wide receiver Gabe Davis (undisclosed) also did not take the field for team drills.

Defensive lineman Arik Armstead (knee, on active/physically unable to perform list), undrafted rookie offensive lineman Steven Jones (calf) and undrafted rookie wide receiver David White Jr. (knee, injured reserve) remained out Saturday as they have been to begin camp.

Safety Darnell Savage (shoulder) continued participating in team and position drills while sporting a no-contact jersey.
