Jalen Ramsey will practice on Wednesday, according to the Jaguars’ daily rundown. It’s a potentially huge development for the star cornerback, who has been away from the team and pushing for a trade.
Ramsey has not seen live action since Week 3 and has been out of practice with a blend of officially listed reasons. Among them: back issues and the birth of his daughter. Unofficially, many believe that Ramsey has been keeping his distance in an effort to have his trade demand met.
The Jaguars have reportedly stopped considering offers for the soon-to-be 25-year-old and owner Shad Khan wants to lock Ramsey up with the type of extension that he was previously pushing for. Ramsey, at last check, was sticking to his guns. And, according to one report, the Jaguars wouldn’t even trade Ramsey for five first-round picks.
It’s not immediately clear whether Ramsey’s practice participation means that he’ll play against the Saints on Sunday.
Can we stop pretending the “five first round picks” was anything but hyperbole? Not sure why that comment still finds its way into every single Ramsey update TR posts.
Who cares?

You care enough to comment.
I guess Ramsey wised up. The Jags were not going to trade him. You cannot let players dictate an organization. You either play or don’t get paid and have 2 or even 3 seasons where you don’t play which also effects your playing ability. Not playing for that long can have serious consequences on your whole career. Why risk that over being hard-headed and trying to “stick to your guns”? Give me a break. These players better wise up before signing a contract. Not very smart.
Team needs to have him medically cleared and then without paychecks instead of supporting his psudeo injuries while he’s basically holding out.
