The Colts will be without perhaps their two most impactful defensive stars, DeForest Buckner and Sauce Gardner on Sunday

Indianapolis initially added Jones to its Week 12 injury report with a fractured fibula. He has nonetheless played the Colts’ last two games, completing 14 of 27 passes for 201 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans last Sunday.

To say this is a key week for the Jaguars would be an understatement. The Jaguars have been chasing the Colts for the AFC South all year long -- even when they started 4-1. Now, the Jaguars are finally in the lead in the AFC South, but they will only be able to hold onto it with a strong performance against the Colts.

The Jaguars are 8-4 and tied with the Colts atop the AFC South. It's what owner Shad Khan envisioned when he hired Liam Coen earlier this year. Are we surprised Coen has had this big of an impact this quickly?

Fans should have their tickets and parking passes (if they are in a stadium lot) on their phone and ready to scan. The Jaguars are encouraging fans to arrive early, a combination of the potential for the largest home crowd of the season and construction on the Stadium of the Future, which affects access roads and stadium parking.

Cole Van Lanen is listed as the backup left tackle on the Jaguars' depth chart, and Rayuan Lane III is listed as the backup free safety. Van Lanen started five games for Jacksonville last season, and Lane is a rookie who has yet to start a game.

The Colts have struggled to cover players in the middle of the field. Is the good news they received on the injury list a solution?
