Hines-Allen (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 18 clash against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The Jaguars announced Saturday morning that Hines-Allen won't travel with the team to Indianapolis due to a personal matter. Sunday will mark the star defensive end's first regular-season absence since 2021. Hines-Allen's 2024 campaign will end with his sacks total dropping from 17.5 last year to 8.0 this season. However, he's still had a strong year with 29 QB pressures and 45 total tackles along with two pass defenses and a recovered fumble. Hines-Allen has four years remaining on the five-year, $141.25 million contract he inked with the Jaguars in April.

Hines-Allen recorded six tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 20-13 win versus the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Protecting a lead late in the third quarter, Hines-Allen overpowered massive left tackle JC Latham and felled the bulky Mason Rudolph for his eighth sack of the season. He'll take all the pass-rushing opportunities he can get when the Jaguars go on the road to play a run-heavy Indianapolis team in Week 18.

Hines-Allen recorded two tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 10-6 win at Tennessee.

EDGE Analysis

The Titans were trying to get off a hail-mary attempt from midfield on the last play of the first half, but Hines-Allen turned the corner around left tackle JC Latham and crushed Will Levis, forcing a fumble that Tennessee was fortunate to recover. He'll be looking to add to his season sack total in Week 15 versus the Jets.

Hines-Allen posted four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Hines-Allen's sack came on a second-and-goal play from the six-yard line in the second quarter and helped hold Houston to a field goal. It was the veteran defensive end's first sack since he registered a pair of them against the Eagles in Week 9. Hines-Allen's 6.0 sacks on the campaign are a far cry from the career-high 17.5 he racked up last season.

Hines-Allen finished with four solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for losses, in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive end also played on 70 percent of the defensive snaps. Hines-Allen has 25 tackles (14 solo), including 5.0 sacks, two passes defensed and a fumble recovery this season.

Hines-Allen logged three tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sack, in Jacksonville's win over the Colts on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hines-Allen spent the majority of the week in the concussion protocol but ended up having a solid outing for the Jaguars. The 27-year-old will look to continue to add to his sack total as the season goes on after having only recorded two throughout his first five appearances.

Hines-Allen has cleared concussion protocols and will play Sunday against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Hines-Allen suffered a concussion during the Jaguars' Week 4 loss to the Texans, but he has progressed through the league's five-step protocols and will play in Sunday's divisional matchup. The 2019 first-round pick has registered 12 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended through four regular-season games.

Hines-Allen (concussion) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.

EDGE Analysis

Hines-Allen was diagnosed with a concussion during the Jaguars' Week 4 loss to the Texans. After sitting out of Wednesday's practice, Hines-Allen returned for Thursday's session and was limited in Friday's practice. However, he has to continue to progress through the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to be cleared ahead of Sunday's game.

Hines-Allen (concussion) logged a limited practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hines-Allen suffered a concussion in last Sunday's loss to the Texans. His ability to get back on the field in any capacity Thursday suggests he's progressing through the league's five-step protocols quickly. However, there's no guarantee he'll gain clearance to play ahead of this Sunday's game against the Colts.

Hines-Allen (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jaguars' top edge rusher suffered a concussion during the team's Week 4 loss to the Texans, so it's no surprise that he didn't practice Wednesday. If Hines-Allen is unable to clear concussion protocol by the time of Sunday's contest, expect Myles Cole to see additional reps with Jacksonville's first-team defense.
