Hamilton (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton may have tweaked his back during Jacksonville's Week 9 overtime win over Las Vegas, when he played 41 snaps (37 on defense, four on special teams) without recording a tackle. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in full and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against Houston. The 2020 third-rounder has 17 tackles (seven solo) through eight regular-season games.

Hamilton racked up 62 tackles (34 solo) across 17 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2024.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton enjoyed a career year in terms of production, but as was the case largely across the board for Jacksonville's defense, he struggled to emerge as a true difference maker. He has two years remaining on his deal with the Jaguars, though the team has a potential out after the 2025 campaign. Hamilton has now logged back-to-back seasons without recording a single sack.

The Jaguars activated Hamilton (back) from injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 2020 third-round pick out of Ohio State will now be in line to make his season debut after being placed on injured reserve at the end of training camp. Hamilton played in all 17 games last season for the Jaguars and registered 56 tackles (27 solo), 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble. He'll add strength to the team's interior defensive line alongside Roy Robertson-Harris and Adam Gotsis.

Hamilton (back) will be inactive for Thursday's matchup with the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton was a full participant at practice all week, but he'll be held out for at least one more contest as he works his way back from a back injury. The defensive tackle will now shift his focus to being ready for Jacksonville's Week 8 contest with Pittsburgh on Oct. 29.

Hamilton (back) will not make his season debut in Sunday's game against the Colts. Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jaguars designated Hamilton for a return Thursday, but it looks like they are going to ease him back into the swing of things. He has a 21-day practice window to return, so there is no need to rush him out there. The 26-year-old nose tackle is expected to give the Jaguars' interior defensive trenches a notable boost upon his return.

The Jaguars designated Hamilton (back) for a return from injured reserve Thursday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton's 21-day practice window thus begins. The Jaguars can activate him from IR at any point within that period, meaning he could have a chance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts. The 26-year-old nose tackle should provide Jacksonville's defense with a notable boost when and if he's fully cleared.

Hamilton (back) will not be taking the trip to London and will miss each of the team's next two games, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton would have been eligible to be activated from injured reserve before the team's Week 5 matchup with the Bills in London, but he'll remain in Jacksonville to continue training for his return. This would leave Week 6 against the Colts as his next likeliest return date, although there's still no guarantee the Ohio State product will be ready by then.

Hamilton (back) will start the season on Jacksonville's injured reserve.
EDGE Analysis
The Jaguars were hopeful Hamilton was nearing a return, but they will choose to exercise caution instead. He was plagued throughout training camp with back spasms. The 26-year-old nose tackle is viewed as a key component to Jacksonville's defense, but he will now have to miss at least the first four games of the season. In the meantime, Angelo Blackson will presumably fill in for him.

Hamilton (back) could return next week, according to head coach Doug Pederson, J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton's back spasms have plagued him throughout training camp. After initially being sidelined at the start, he returned to practice in early August before being shut down again. Hamilton is expected to play a pivotal role along the defensive front this season after signing a three-year, $34.5 million extension in the offseason.

Coach Doug Pederson said on Monday that Hamilton (back) remains "on the road to recovery," Mark Long on USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton remains away from the team but continues to be "monitored by the professionals," Pederson said. Details have been scarce on the nature of Hamilton's issue, but it's been described as a non-football medical problem. Hamilton inked a three-year, $34.5 million extension through 2026 earlier in the offseason.
