Darby (hip) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. Darby played just nine defensive snaps against the Packers on Sunday after injuring his hip in the first quarter. However, it appears the injury isn't severe enough for him to miss the Jaguars' first practice of the week, and barring any setbacks, he should suit up against the Eagles on Sunday. Darby has logged 34 tackles (27 solo) and five pass breakups over eight regular-season outings.

Darby (hip) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. Darby played just nine defensive snaps against the Packers on Sunday after injuring his hip in the first quarter. However, it appears the injury isn't severe enough for him to miss the Jaguars' first practice of the week, and barring any setbacks, he should suit up against the Eagles on Sunday. Darby has logged 34 tackles (27 solo) and five pass breakups over eight regular-season outings.
Darby injured his hip against the Packers in Sunday's Week 8 matchup and is questionable to return, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports. Darby's injury occurred in the first quarter, and he subsequently consulted with trainers on the side of the field. The veteran cornerback has been a key component of the Jaguars' secondary this season, logging at least 70 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the team's first seven contests. Montaric Brown and/or Deantre Prince could absorb Darby's snaps Sunday if he's unable to return.
Darby is slated to sign a two-year deal with the Jaguars on Wednesday worth up to $10 million, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. The cornerback played in 16 games and on 427 defensive snaps with the Ravens in 2023. Darby finished with 28 tackles and seven passes defensed. The veteran should play a similar depth role with the Jaguars in 2024.
