The Jaguars designated Linder (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction kicks off a 21-day window wherein Linder can be evaluated at practice. He'll be eligible to rejoin the active roster at any point in that span, making Sunday's game against the 49ers the first possible opportunity for Linder to return the field. Linder, who opened the season as the Jaguars' starting center, hasn't played since early October due to an MCL sprain.
