@JohnOehser Jaguars RT Jermey Parnell sustained nondisplaced fractured hand in OTA Monday. Will participate in some individual drills in OTAs.

And a bit of good news (kinda)

@AdamSchefter Jaguars 1st-round pick Jalen Ramsey underwent surgery to repair meniscus in right knee, but expected to return by training camp, per source.

Looks like Jalen will only be out 6 weeks instead of 6 months.

'That's the best we could hope for. Hopefully he heals quickly!

Tweet from Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) - #Jaguars DC Todd Wash on Gipson's INT Monday: “The play he made in the middle of the field, we haven’t had that play since we’ve been here."

Even though these aren't padded practices, the media guys watching camp have been gushing over Fowler.

Fourth round pick Sheldon Day was on the radio today and they asked him which player from OTAs has blown him away and he immediately signaled out Dante Fowler. Said something to the effect that people should not be able to bend off the edge like he has been.

What's the scoop on the lineman we just signed? Anything to be excited about?

Patrick Omameh apparently started 14 games for the Bucs two years back and started 9 for the Bears last season. Looks to be serviceable depth at both G and T. Definitely need it with Beachum, Parnell, and Bowanko all banged up.

A lot of guys are going to be getting some huge paydays in the next year or so.

On a side note, the forgotten WR on the team - Marqise Lee - has apparently had a bunch of "WOW' moments at camp and finally looks healthy. Having him live up to his potential could make this offense scary good.
