Jacksonville Jaguars prepare to host Indianapolis Colts in Week 8

The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2) host the Indianapolis Colts (2-5) this Sunday at EverBank Stadium as both teams navigate significant shifts in their respective seasons. Jacksonville enters the matchup following a bye week and seeks to maintain an 11-game home winning streak against Indianapolis, a run dating back to 2014.

The Jaguars are receiving a defensive boost with cornerback Montaric Brown returning to practice after a hamstring injury. His presence provides depth to a secondary that has struggled against the pass in recent weeks. Head coach Liam Coen emphasized the importance of rebounding from a recent loss to the Houston Texans to stay competitive in the AFC South race.

In contrast, the Colts are undergoing a rebuilding phase following the dismissal of their general manager. The team has recently traded away key veterans, including All-Pros Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, as part of a roster overhaul. Indianapolis enters the game on a three-game losing streak and faces significant challenges on the road.
