Long (hip/knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Long has missed three straight games while managing a pair of injuries, but he now appears back to full health and ready to retake the field Sunday versus the Titans. He'll handle the No. 2 tight end role behind Brenton Strange, who returned from IR in Week 12 to lead Jacksonville in receiving against Arizona, securing all five of his targets for 93 yards.

Long (hip/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Arizona, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long will miss a third consecutive contest due to hip and knee injuries, but he has strung together five straight limited listings going back to last week, signaling that a return to action may be possible as soon as Sunday, Nov. 30 at Tennessee. Meanwhile, fellow TE Brenton Strange (hip) is listed as questionable, but he'll need to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday afternoon in order to have a chance to play Sunday. Quintin Morris and Johnny Mundt currently are the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Long (hip/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Long has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions as he works to gain clearance for Sunday's road game against Arizona. He hasn't played since Week 9 due to a pair of injuries, and Friday's practice will represent Long's last chance to upgrade to unrestricted reps in Week 12. Long will serve as Jacksonville's top tight end if he's able to suit up Sunday, unless the team activates Brenton Strange (hip) from IR to the 53-man roster.

Long (hip/knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Long has missed back-to-back games due to a pair of injuries, but this marks his third consecutive limited practice session dating back to Week 11. That bodes well for Long's chances of being able to retake the field for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals. That said, if Brenton Strange (hip) is brought off IR in time to play Week 12, Long will stand to revert to the No. 2 role at tight end even if healthy.

Long (hip/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
After missing every practice before sitting out this past Sunday in Houston due to hip and knee injuries, Long returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and maintained that activity level Friday before the Jaguars made a ruling on his status for Week 11. With Brenton Strange (hip), who was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, also not cleared to play Sunday, Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris are the available options at tight end on Jacksonville's active roster.

Long (hip/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Hip and knee injuries prevented Long from playing against the Texans in Week 10. His ability to return to practice Thursday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that he is progressing in his recovery after missing Wednesday's session. Long's practice participation Friday will determine whether he carries an injury designation into Sunday's tilt against the Chargers. Long has served as the Jaguars' TE1 since early October after Brenton Strange (hip) was placed on injured reserve. However, Strange's 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, and his return would revert Long to the TE2 job. If Strange and Long are both unable to play Sunday, then Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris would be the top options at tight end for the Jaguars.

Long (hip/knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long didn't practice last week before being ruled out for Sunday's loss to the Texans, with another DNP now clouding his Week 11 status. Fellow tight end Brenton Strange (hip) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and if he's able to return to action this weekend, he'd be in a position to reclaim his spot in the Jaguars' starting lineup.

Long (hip/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
The Jaguars will be without both Long and Brenton Strange (quadriceps), who is still on IR. Johnny Mundt likely will get most of the snaps, with Quintin Morris on hand in a depth role. Jacksonville may elevate one or both of Jordan Akins and Patrick Herbert from the practice squad as well.

Long (hip/knee) is not participating in practice Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long is missing a second consecutive practice, making his status for Week 10 cloudy. With Brenton Strange (quadriceps) still on IR, Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris will operate as Jacksonville's top tight ends versus Houston on Sunday if Long is unavailable. Jordan Akins and Patrick Herbert would also be candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.
