Cleveland (ankle) isn't among Jacksonville's inactives for Sunday's Week 11 matchup versus Detroit. Cleveland was questionable heading into the weekend after practicing in a limited fashion all week. He'll ultimately be able to play against the Lions, ending a two-game absence. Cleveland's return will likely send Blake Hance back to rotational role.
Cleveland (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Cleveland has missed the Jaguars' last two games due to an ankle injury. He was able to practice all week, albeit in a limited capacity, which has given him a chance to return Sunday. If Cleveland isn't able to play, Blake Hance will likely start at left guard for a second straight game.
Cleveland (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. Cleveland will be sidelined for a second straight game due to an ankle injury he picked up in Week 8 against the Jaguars. He has yet to practice since the injury, and he'll look to get right for Week 11 against the Lions. Cooper Hodges injured his knee in Week 9 against the Eagles and was placed on injured reserve Monday, so Blake Hance figures to be the next man up to start at left guard.
Cleveland (ankle) won't play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Eagles, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Cleveland hurt his ankle last Sunday versus Green Bay and wasn't able to practice at all this week. Prior to exiting that contest, he had played every offensive snap for the Jaguars this season. With Cleveland out Sunday, Cooper Hodges will make his first NFL start at left guard, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com.
Cleveland is considered day-to-day after suffering an ankle injury in Sunday's loss to Green Bay, Garry Smits of Jacksonville.com reports. Cleveland was unable to finish the game after suffering the injury in the second half. Greater clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Eagles should come when the team releases its first injury report Wednesday.
Cleveland (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Green Bay, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Cooper Hodges will come in at left guard for as long as Cleveland is sidelined.
Cleveland (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice session, John Oesher of the Jaguars' official site reports. Cleveland did not play in the Jags' preseason opener against the Chiefs on Saturday due to a heel injury. He was limited in Monday's practice, but the 2020 second-round guard was back doing team drills one day later. Cleveland appeared in 15 games (including 11 starts) with both the Vikings and Jaguars in 2023, and he's slated to start at left guard for the upcoming season.
Cleveland was limited in practice Monday due to a heel issue, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. Given that he was allowed to practice in a limited capacity, it doesn't seem likely that Cleveland's injury is a threat to his status for the start of the regular season. The 26-year-old is slated to again be Jacksonville's starter at left guard in 2024.
Cleveland and the Jaguars agreed Thursday on a three-year, $28.5 million contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Cleveland's contract includes $14.5 million guaranteed, and keeps a capable left guard around for Jacksonville for the foreseeable future. The Jaguars acquired Cleveland from the Vikings last season in a mid-season trade, and it's clear that the team always intended to re-sign him.
