Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson called Friday a “big day” to determine running back Tank Bigsby's availability for Jacksonville's Week 11 road game against the Detroit Lions.
Bigsby Wednesday or Thursday while rehabbing an ankle injury he suffered in Week 7 against the New England Patriots and which aggravated Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
“Tank will be gone today,” Pederson said Friday. “We'll see. Optimistic, you know. But obviously today is going to be a big day for him.”
Bigsby has rushed for 519 yards and four touchdowns on 95 attempts this season and added three receptions for 36 yards.
Pederson announced that Jacksonville starting left guard Ezra Cleveland will likely play against Detroit after missing the Jaguars' last two games because of an ankle injury he suffered in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.
“Ezra should be good to go,” Pederson said.
Jacksonville vs. Detroit kicks off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at Ford Field.
