Muma should start in place of Devin Lloyd while he recovers from thumb surgery, beginning Sunday against the Falcons, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muma should have at least two starts in his future with Lloyd not making the team's trip to London. The former stepped in Sunday after Lloyd suffered the injury and also has two starts under his belt from the 2022 season.

Muma recorded six tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-3 victory versus the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Muma tied cornerback Gregory Junior and outside linebacker Josh Allen for the Jaguars' second-most tackles Week 17. The rookie inside linebacker also played 39 percent of the team's defensive snaps, marking his most significant usage since returning from an ankle injury that kept him sidelined Week 14. However, this was likely due to Jacksonville pulling its key starters early in this wire-to-wire blowout. Muma also logged one tackle while playing 18 snaps on special teams, and he'll likely continue to play a rotational role on defense while primarily serving as a core special-teamer Week 18 against the Titans.

Muma (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Muma missed last week's win over the Titans with the ankle injury and was considered questionable for Sunday, but he's been cleared to take the field versus the Cowboys. Prior to the absence, the rookie third-round pick played a significant defensive role in his last two games with 20 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.

Muma (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Muma returned to practice this week, albeit in a limited fashion, after missing the team's Week 14 win over the Titans with an ankle injury, but he's still listed as questionable for Sunday. If he remains sidelined for a second straight contest, Devin Lloyd figures to draw another start next to Foye Oluokun.

Muma (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Titans, Adam Stites of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muma suffered the ankle injury during the Week 13 loss to the Lions and will be sidelined for Sunday's matchup after not practicing at all during Week 14 prep. In his absence, Devin Lloyd is expected to start next to Foye Oluokun.

Muma (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Muma logged 11 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, before exiting with an ankle injury at some point in the second half. The rookie linebacker was used extremely sparingly on defense over Jacksonville's first 10 games of the season, though he appears to be moving into a much bigger role after playing every defensive snap in last week's overtime win against Baltimore. With Muma out for the time being, Caleb Johnson should see increased usage behind Devin Lloyd and Foye Oluokun.

Muma recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Muma's nine stops were his highest total of the campaign and matched his combined tackle count from the last three games. Operating greatly in a depth role, Muma has been able to record 23 tackles this year while also deflecting a pass over 11 contests.
