- Devin Lloyd injury update, why Jacksonville Jaguars LB didn't play more vs. Seattle
Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen said linebacker Devin Lloyd , who had a four-game streak of at least one turnover per game broken in a 20-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 12, is being tested for a calf injury that developed during the game at EverBank Stadium.
Coen said Lloyd could have played with the "tightness" in his right calf, but the coaching staff decided to go with Ventrell Miller for much of the second half. Lloyd was only able to play 15 snaps and had one solo tackle and two assists, while Miller had 29 snaps, with one tackle and four assists.

The Jaguars (4-2) travel to London to play the Los Angeles Rams (4-2) on Oct. 19 at Wembley Stadium (9:30 a.m., NFL Network).

"Devin ... was cleared, played the first half, tightened up on him at halftime and went to go in the second a little bit but it was just too tight," Coen said on Oct. 13 at the Miller Electric Center. "We made a decision as coaches to get Ventrell in. Ventrell played well."
Coen added Lloyd was "medically cleared" to play.
"We just felt, as coaches, watching him run a little bit, that it was just too tight," Coen said. "We're currently just kind of being able to test Devin and look at it right now to see if he'll be able to go for us this week."
Coen also said tight end Quintin Morris was being evaluated for an abductor injury and said his status "is a little bit up in the air right not."

That would leave the Jaguars down to two healthy tight ends for the Rams game, Hunter Long and Johnny Mundt . Starter Brenton Strange is on the four-week injured reserve list for a hip injury. There are two tight ends on the practice squad, rookie Patrick Herbert and second-year player Qadir Ismail .
Liam Coen optimistic about OL Wyatt Milum
The Jaguars may get some good news this week from an offensive line depth standpoint. Rookie Wyatt Milum , who was playing well in training camp until a knee injury, continues to progress and Coen is hoping for a good week of practice from the third-round pick from West Virginia.

"Wyatt has gotten better in terms of more comfort level over the last, probably week or so," Coen said. "I think we'll be able to get him some more reps this week and see what that looks like. Obviously ... if [center Robert] Hainsey is going to be able to go inside there, which obviously dictates a little bit more, and see where Wyatt fits in best, helping us at guard or tackle. I do think that we can get him going a little bit this week, during the work week of practice ... get him some quality reps with the unit and see how he can help us going into this weekend."
Hainsey missed the Seattle game with a hamstring injury.
