Jaguars' Devin Lloyd: Option not exercised
Rotowire
The Jaguars won't exercise Lloyd's fifth-year option, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The 2022 first-round pick out of Utah has been one of the Jaguars' top tacklers over the past three seasons, ranking second on the team with 355 total tackles across 48 regular-season contests.

Jaguars' Devin Lloyd: Gives himself chance to play Sunday
Rotowire
Lloyd (knee) was limited in Friday's practice and is questionable to play Sunday against Houston.
Lloyd appeared on the Jaguars' injury report Thursday due to a knee injury. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, which gives the 2022 first-round pick a real shot at playing Sunday. Lloyd's presence is desperately needed for a Jaguars linebacker corps that will be without Foyesade Oluokun (foot) for multiple weeks.

Jaguars' Devin Lloyd: Pops up on injury report
Rotowire
Lloyd (knee) did not practice Thursday.
Lloyd saw a slight downturn in snaps in Monday's loss to the Bills, although it's not clear if that was due to injury or the lopsided score in the second half. The Utah product's potential absence Sunday against the Texans is compounded by Foyesade Oluokun's (foot) doubtful status for the matchup, leaving the Jaguars in danger of being without their top two linebackers.

Llyod suffered the injury in the team's Week 2 loss to Kansas City and was unable to play in the Week 3 loss to Houston. Rather than joining the Jaguars abroad, Lloyd will stay back in the United States and focus on his rehab and recovery in advance of the Jaguars' Week 6 game against the the Colts.

Jaguars' Devin Lloyd: Totals 115 tackles
Rotowire
Lloyd had 115 tackles (59 solo), eight passes defensed, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 17 games during the 2022 regular season.
The rookie first-round pick played an every-down role at times for Jacksonville this season, and he finished third on the team in tackles. Lloyd should take on a more consistent gig during his sophomore campaign in 2023, though his IPD potential likely will remain more limited while playing alongside Foye Oluokun, who has two straight 180-plus tackle seasons.
