Savage recorded five total tackles (four solo) and two passes defensed in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets. Savage finished second on the team in takedowns, trailing only cornerback Tyson Campbell's six tackles in the loss. Savage has now produced 41 total tackles (33 solo) and six passes defensed, including an interception, over 11 games in his first season with the Jaguars.
Savage (ankle) was absent from the Jaguars' injury report Wednesday. Savage exited the Jaguars' Week 13 loss to the Texans after sustaining an ankle injury, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's already recovered. The first-year Jaguar is expected to serve as Jacksonville's top backup free safety, playing behind Antonio Johnson as the season progresses.
Savage sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports. Prior to his exit in the second half, Savage had tallied seven tackles (all solo), which ended up pacing the Jaguars in Week 13. He's been handling a large role in the defense for some time, earning at least 90 percent of the snaps in the five games before a Week 12 bye. As a result, Savage's status will be one to monitor as the team gears up for next Sunday's contest at Tennessee.
Savage finished Sunday's loss to Minnesota with four tackles (three solo) and an interception. Savage came up with a big pickoff of Sam Darnold, intercepting a pass intended for Justin Jefferson in the Jaguars' end zone and returning it 29 yards. It was the first pickoff of the campaign for Savage, who has logged every one of Jacksonville's defensive snaps three of the past four weeks. On the season, Savage has recorded 22 tackles (17 solo) and four pass defenses over seven contests.
Savage (head) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report. Savage was evaluated for a concussion during the Jaguars' loss to the Bears in Week 6, per Demetrius Harvey of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union, but he was cleared and managed to return to the game. He can be considered fully on track to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
Savage is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Bears. Savage will be unable to return to the game and have to enter the league's five-step protocol if he suffered a concussion. However, if cleared he should be able to return to Sunday's game in London.
Savage (quadriceps) is active Sunday against the Colts. Savage hasn't played since Week 1, but he'll now return after a three-week absence. The return of the Maryland product should be a boost to the Jaguars' secondary when they take the field for a divisional matchup against Indianapolis.
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Savage (quadriceps) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts, John Shipley of SI.com reports. Savage has missed three straight games due to a lingering quad injury, but he's managed to practice in a limited capacity in advance of Week 5 action. Friday's final injury report of the week will reveal whether Savage carries an official injury definition, but barring any setbacks, the safety should be available versus Indianapolis.
Savage (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Savage has missed the Jaguars' last three games due to a quadriceps injury sustained in the team's Week 1 loss to the Dolphins. The first-year Jaguar has now logged seven consecutive limited practice sessions, so he's likely nearing a return to the field. If Savage misses his fourth consecutive game in Week 5, expect Antonio Johnson to serve as Jacksonville's top free safety.
