Grant rushed 18 times for 122 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Grant served as the primary running back in the season finale with Chris Ivory (hamstring) and T.J. Yeldon (ankle) both held out. The second-year man out of Auburn took full advantage of the opportunity, topping 100 yards for the first time in his career. Grant was averaging just 3.0 yards per carry heading into this one, but raised that mark all the way to 5.1 thanks in large part to a 57-yard touchdown run. He finishes the season with 164 yards and a touchdown on 32 rushing attempts, as well as four catches for 35 yards and another touchdown.

Grant rushed nine times for 27 yards, and caught one of three targets for five more in Saturday's 38-17 win over the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Grant split carries with Chris Ivory after T.J. Yeldon left the game early on due to an ankle injury. The second-year running back out of Auburn came in with 15 yards on five carries in 2016, and tied his season average with 3.0 yards per attempt here. Expect a similar workload for Grant next week in Indianapolis if Yeldon is unable to suit up.

Grant (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Grant was questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Bears before ultimately being ruled inactive. The toe injury does not appear to be too serious at this point given his full participation at practice Wednesday.

Grant carried the ball twice for minus-6 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
T.J. Yeldon (groin) once again handled the bulk of the workload, but Grant received two carries on the day. One went for 11 yards, but the other was a disaster, as Grant blatantly fumbled on a toss play deep in Jacksonville territory. The Buccaneers were able to recover for a touchdown and Grant, understandably, did not see another carry the rest of the way. If Yeldon misses any time, Grant could see a slight increase in snaps, but Toby Gerhart and Bernard Pierce are probably ahead of him in the pecking order. Grant also handled kick return duties Sunday, logging 93 yards on three returns with a long of 42 yards.

Grant will handle kickoff return duties for the Jaguars in their Week 1 game against Carolina, the Florida Times Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant, an undrafted free agent out of Auburn, broke off some big runs in the preseason finale and averaged 28.8 yards per kickoff return during the preseason. It was enough to earn him a roster spot and a pretty significant role on special teams.

Grant will likely make the Jaguars' final roster, ESPN's Michael DiRocco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant, a rookie UDFA, will likely just be fourth or fifth on the depth chart at running back, but he could have a role in the return game. With no fullback on the roster, the Jags may elect to keep five running backs, ESPN's Michael DiRocco reports.
