Cole Van Lanen: Everything you need to know

Van Lanen (knee) is inactive for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Bills, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Van Lanen injured his right knee during the Jaguars' Week 18 win over the Titans, just two days after inking a three-year, $51 million contract extension. The fifth-year offensive lineman earned himself the questionable tag for the wild-card round after logging a full practice Friday, but his knee injury was severe enough for him to not be cleared by medical staff to play Sunday. In Van Lanen's absence, Walker Little is expected to draw the start at left tackle, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.

Van Lanen (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Bills. The Jaguars are mostly healthy heading into the playoffs, but the status of their starting left tackle is up in the air. If Van Lanen doesn't suit up, it could be a major blow considering his strong play has been an understated factor in Jacksonville's second-half surge this season. Walker Little would likely fill in if Van Lanen's unavailable.

Van Lanen (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports. Van Lanen left last Sunday's win over the Titans late in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. The left tackle's status for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills will likely be determined by the results of Thursday and Friday's practices. If Van Lanen is unable to upgrade his participation and must sit out Sunday's game, Walker Little would likely start at tackle opposite Anton Harrison.
