Denver Broncos: Jalen Ramsey may play for Jags after all
The Denver Broncos have been unsure of whether they’d see Jalen Ramsey this week against the Jaguars, but it now sounds like the star CB will play.
Thanks to Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey, some of the focus this week for their game against the Denver Broncos has not been on the zero sacks and zero forced turnovers for Denver’s defense through three games.
Ramsey has demanded a trade out of Jacksonville, he’s apparently got a back issue he’s dealing with, and he’s been in Nashville this week awaiting the birth of his child.
After all the talk this week that he was still demanding a trade and intended to stay away from the team, Ramsey’s not going to pass up a game check.
According to Benjamin Allbright, Ramsey is traveling to Denver and plans to be available to play on Sunday against the Broncos.
Although we do not wish ill on Ramsey by any means, seeing that he’s coming to Denver to likely play is not the most welcomed news.
Jacksonville’s defense has some stellar playmakers at every level, and Ramsey is one of a select few along with Denver’s Chris Harris Jr. in the discussion for best cornerback in the NFL right now.
If Ramsey is playing, he will likely be following Emmanuel Sanders around the field all game, provided he’s not on some kind of snap count with his injury.
Ramsey is a physical, man coverage cornerback who is capable of making game-changing plays on the back end of the defense. The Broncos are hoping to get Emmanuel Sanders more involved in the gameplan this week, but Ramsey’s presence out there could limit the number of times they look Sanders’ way.
This could mean another steady dose of Courtland Sutton on Sunday who will likely be matched up with another really good cornerback in AJ Bouye.
