Seventh-round rookie Myles Cole is one of the Jacksonville Jaguars' inactive players against the Bills

The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced their inactive players for Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills; a new member of the defense has been added.

In addition to defensive back Darnell Savage and tight end Evan Engram, who were all officially ruled out before Monday, the Jaguars also added offensive lineman Javon Foster, offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen, defensive tackle Jordan Jefferson, defensive tackle Esezi Otomewo and defensive end Myles Cole to the team.

Cole played double-digit snaps in the first two weeks against the Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns, but will get a chance to watch the game from the sidelines this weekend. The Jaguars only have two other defensive ends on the roster in Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, but Arik Armstead and Roy Robertson-Harris have played snaps there this season. Yasir Abdullah could also be an option for edge snaps in obvious pass-rushing situations.

Of particular note, the Jaguars will be able to call on second-round defensive tackle Maason Smith this week after he was left off the roster against the Browns due to health reasons.

“Very good. Very good. He's in the right mindset. I'm very excited about him and his future. He said he practiced well yesterday,” Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen said this week.

“He reacted exactly as you would have hoped he would. He took it as not being an attack on him. We have to get better and we're going to do everything we can to get better and go out there and play. So he's got a very bright future and he's got the right mindset to be a very good player in this league.”

With Savage and Engram out of the field this week, the Jaguars will rely on some recently drafted cornerbacks and tight ends. Savage was replaced in the lineup last week by third-round cornerback Jarrian Jones, with Jones taking the majority of the Jaguars' snaps as the nickel cornerback.

As for the tight end, the Jaguars will see second-year tight end Brenton Strange make his first career start in Engram's place after spending most of his rookie season backing up Engram.
