Oliver (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game at Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver was a limited participant at practice this week and will miss his fifth straight game with the hamstring injury. The rookie third-round pick will likely need to advance to full practice participation before having a chance at taking the field. James O'Shaughnessy and Geoff Swaim will continue to work as the Jaguars' top-two tight ends.

Oliver (hamstring) won't practice Thursday, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver managed to log a limited practice session Wednesday, but he's been downgraded to individual work Thursday. Per John Reid of The Florida Times-Union, the Jaguars have suggested that Oliver hasn't suffered a setback and his lack of practice involvement Thursday is standard protocol for his recovery from the hamstring issue. Regardless, Oliver's availability for Sunday's game against the Broncos still looks murky.

Oliver (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first time Oliver has officially participated at practice since the start of the regular season, so this is his first tangible progress towards making his NFL debut. The rookie third-round pick has been sidelined by the hamstring injury since early August, so he figures to require some additional practice time before returning to full strength.

Oliver (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Titans, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver didn't practice all week, and he will continue to put off his NFL debut as he recovers from the hamstring injury he suffered in August. Once he's healthy, the Jaguars are expected to ease him into the rotation as a pass-catcher since he posted 56 receptions for 709 yards and four scores in his final collegiate season for San Jose State.

Oliver (hamstring) was a non-participant at Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver also did not participate in Monday's practice. A hamstring injury has kept the rookie third-round pick from making his NFL debut through two weeks, and he appears to be trending toward another absence. Seth DeValve would presumably continue handling No. 3 tight end duties should he ultimately remain sidelined.

Oliver (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Texans, J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie third-round pick will put off his NFL debut for the second straight game after sitting out practice all week. Oliver was expected to be the No. 3 tight end, so his absence will only affect special teams.

Oliver (hamstring) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie third-round pick missed Week 1's game versus the Chiefs, and he's trending toward the same status for Sunday's game versus the Texans. He'll need to get on the field in some capacity by Friday's practice in order to play, otherwise James O'Shaughnessy and Geoff Swaim will continue manning the top tight-end spots.

Oliver (hamstring) was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver was never a likely candidate to play in the season opener and he's now officially been ruled out. The rookie third-round pick has been sidelined with the hamstring injury since the start of August and has no official timetable for his return. Geoff Swaim and James O'Shaughnessy should serve as the Jaguars' top-two tight ends Sunday.

Oliver (hamstring) is not expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jaguars didn't practice Wednesday, but they released an estimated injury report where Oliver would have been held out. The rookie third-round pick had a modest output for San Jose State with 56 catches for 709 yards and four scores. He's still working behind Geoff Swaim and James O'Shaughnessy in the pecking order, so even if he does suit up Sunday, expect a run-blocking role.
