Jaguars starters, offensive tackle Walker Little and safety Darnell Savage Jr., exited Jacksonville’s Week 16 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders after suffering injuries in the first half.
Little suffered an ankle injury on Jacksonville’s first offensive possession of the game. He entered the contest with a hurt ankle, which he experienced but played through against the New York Jets in Week 15.
Savage was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion during the second quarter.
Jacksonville considered both players questionable to return against Las Vegas at press time.
Little took over as Jacksonville’s starting left tackle in Week 8 and signed a three-year, $45 million contract extension with the club on Dec. 1. Since his second-round, No. 45 overall selection by the Jaguars in the 2021 NFL draft, Little has made 55 appearances and 25 starts.
Savage, who signed a three-year, $21.8 million free-agent contract with Jacksonville in March after five seasons with the Green Bay Packers, has logged 42 total tackles including two for loss, one interception and six defended passes in 11 games with the Jaguars.
Las Vegas led Jacksonville 13-7 late in the second quarter at press time.
