The hamstring injury suffered by Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Tyson Campbell will likely keep him out of a Week 7 game against the New Orleans Saints, head coach Doug Pederson said Monday.
“Right now, with the hamstring, on a short week, chances are he’s out for this game,” Pederson said of Campbell. “We’ll just keep monitoring that, but with hamstrings, they can be a little finicky. So we’ll see, but right now, it’s trending that way.”
Campbell, 23, pulled up grabbing him hamstring on an Indianapolis Colts punt Sunday. While the team’s No. 1 cornerback doesn’t typically play on special teams, the Jaguars left the majority of their starting defense on the field for a fourth-and-short situation to defend against the possibility of Indianapolis looking to convert for a first down.
In the remainder of the game, the Jaguars relied on second-year cornerback Montaric “Buster” Brown who appears in line to start Thursday against the Saints.
The Jaguars also have three cornerbacks — Tevaughn Campbell, sixth-round rookie Erick Hallett, and newly added Amari Oruwariye — on the practice squad.
