Wilson has thrown seven touchdowns in two games against the Jaguars in his career, but he also tossed three interceptions in his last outing against them, a 30-24 loss back in 2017.

– With Brandon Jones on the IR and Clayton Fejedelem currently listed as questionable, it could be up to Eric Rowe to start at safety next to Jevon Holland.
The former Patriot cornerback has played 136 snaps this season, mostly split between the slot and in the box. It could be a tough matchup for Rowe with TJ Hockenson lining up across from him.

After having 10 catches for 129 yards in the first two weeks, Waller has six catches for 46 yards since and played just eight snaps in Week 5 before bowing out with his injury.

– Offensively, the Commanders will be without Jahan Dotson for the fourth-straight game thanks to his hamstring injury. What's even more worrisome is that he hasn;t even joined the team in a limited capacity yet.
Curtis Samuel and Terry McClaurin were Taylor Heinicke's favorite receivers last week, tying for the team-lead in targets and catching eight and five passes, respectively.

– All Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard is expected to make his return this week after playing just one game this season due to neck, head and back injuries.
He should replace Bobby Okereke in the starting lineup.
– Unfortunately, Leonard's return won't fix the Colts' offense that currently ranks 28th in points per drive. Instead, quarterback Sam Ehlinger will be tasked to do that in his first-career start.
Ehlinger's elevation comes after Matt Ryan suffered a shoulder injury, however Frank Reich has already Ryan's benching has as much to do with his ineffectiveness as it does his injury.
While Ryan heals up, it will be Super Bowl 52 MVP Nick Foles holding the clipboard.

– Allen Lazard is out this week after injuring his shoulder. With Randall Cobb also on the IR, that leaves Romeo Doubs and Sammy Watkins as the only healthy receivers with over 100 yards this season.
Watkins had two catches for 36 yards last week in his return from the IR and gets his chance to play against the team that drafted him for the first time.
– It'll also be interesting to watch David Bakhtiari's status this weekend. He's questionable with a knee injury and was a surprise inactive last week after his knee flared up on gameday.
Rookie fourth-round pick Zach Tom got his first NFL start and didn't allow a single pressure in 41 pass-blocking snaps.

– Even with the bye week, Spencer Brown's ankle hasn't healed enough to get back on the field so David Quessenberry will get the start at right tackle against the Packers.
Last year, Quessenberry allowed the most sacks in the NFL as the starting right tackle for the Tennessee Titans. It was his only season as a full-time starter.
