JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It appears the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to have a nearly full and healthy complement of players when training camp begins on Thursday.
General manager Dave Caldwell said Monday that cornerback Jalen Ramsey, left tackle Kelvin Beachum, and defensive tackle Sen’Derrick Marks have no health issues and will be on the field for the first workout.
The three will be monitored closely and may have their reps monitored and adjusted as a precautionary measure, Caldwell said.
The only players that won’t be participating on Thursday are backup center Luke Bowanko (right hip labrum) and rookie defensive end Jonathan Woodard (Achilles).
"We don’t anticipate anyone [else missing] right now, but when guys come back on Monday and Wednesday we’ll see where they are at," Caldwell said.
Ramsey, whom the Jaguars took with the fifth overall pick, suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee during offseason conditioning and missed organized team activities and minicamp. He was cleared to begin running in early June and said on June 15 that he was cleared to participate fully in training camp.
Beachum, whom the Jaguars signed in March to compete with Luke Joeckel to be the starter, missed all of organized team activities and minicamp while recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL.
Marks missed the first five games of the 2015 season while rehabbing a torn ACL, played in the next four games, and then missed the final seven games after suffering torn triceps. He worked on the side for most of the OTAs but returned in time to participate in minicamp.
