The loss of Fiedorowicz will be a big blow to the offense as they take on a tough Jaguars secondary. The offensive line has already been decimated by injuries this season and has struggled in recent weeks so with another starter in Jeff Allen out, this only makes it that much shakier up front. I think Mercilus will play, but if not it won’t be a huge deal against an awful offensive line.

No doubt in my mind that Clowney will play. He was the player of the game last week and whatever ailment he might be feeling I have no doubt he will be there for his team. As will most of these guys.
