Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is expected to practice and play this week despite dealing with shoulder and ankle injuries.
Bortles underwent an MRI and it apparently showed more than just inflammation.
The rookie has has struggled largely since taking over for Chad Henne. Even if his snaps in practice are limited signs point to him starting. The Jaguars have little to gain by sitting him out at this point.
