Jaguars' T.J. Yeldon: Sitting out first day of OTAs

Yeldon (ankle) did not participate in the Jaguars' first OTA on Tuesday, John Oehser of Jaguars.com reports.

Yeldon's return to full health will be especially important this offseason after the team selected Leonard Fournette in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, creating even more competition alongside Chris Ivory. Yeldon, who missed the 2016 regular-season finale due to an ankle injury, ran for just 465 yards on 130 carries last year but proved his worth as a pass catcher with 50 receptions for 312 yards.
