Tight end Evan Engram and safety Darnell Savage are both out against the Houston Texans

The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced their inactives for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Houston Texans, and some big names are involved.

Tight end Evan Engram, safety Darnell Savage and inside linebacker Foyesade Oluokun were already ruled out of participation in Sunday's contest. Now the Jaguars have also ruled out inside linebacker Devin Lloyd due to a knee injury, meaning the Jaguars will be without both starting linebackers in a must-win contest.

Second-year linebacker Ventrell Miller and third-year linebacker Chad Muma will replace Oluokun and Lloyd this week, while Miller will start for at least the next month while Oluokun is on injured reserve.

“The good thing is he played in the first three games before this happened. So he has some playing experience. “He was out there with the guys calling the huddle and things like that,” Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen said of Mueller this week.

“So this will be a seamless transition. As for the player, he is an explosive guy. He ran and hit. He had a really good training camp. He's made some good plays in the first few games, so we're very confident that he can come out of there and pick up right where Foye left off.

Also inactive for the Jaguars are defensive lineman Myles Cole, defensive tackle Jordan Jefferson and offensive tackles Javon Foster and Cole Van Lanen.

The Jaguars will face the Texans today at 1 p.m. Eastern time. The 0-3 Jaguars will be looking for their first win as they enter AFC South action against the defending division champions.
