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.

Oliver (hamstring) won't suit up for Thursday's preseason contest against the Dolphins, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oliver missed last week's exhibition game against the Eagles due to a lingering hamstring injury, and is still managing his recovery. With de facto starter Geoff Swaim (undisclosed) also sidelined, James O'Shaughnessy will start for Jacksonville during the team's third preseason tilt.

Oliver (hamstring) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason contest against Philadelphia, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oliver worked out Monday on a side field -- which bodes well for his overall recovery -- but it appears head coach Doug Marrone doesn't want to push the rookie third-round pick in the interest of having him ready for Week 1. The Jaguars listed Geoff Swaim (undisclosed) and James O'Shaughnessy as the starters on their preseason depth chart ahead of Oliver.

EDGE Analysis

Oliver hasn't practiced since injuring his hamstring Aug. 1. Coach Doug Marrone hopes to have the rookie ready for Week 1, but all the missed time this summer will make it difficult for Oliver to open the season with a key role. The Jaguars list both Geoff Swaim and James O'Shaughnessy as starters on their preseason depth chart, with Oliver and Ben Koyack falling in behind.

Oliver suffered a "significant" hamstring injury at practice Thursday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Doug Marrone was unable to offer a recovery timetable for Oliver, but the coach classifying the injury as "significant" indicates Oliver could be facing a multi-week absence, at least. The rookie third-round pick entered training camp looking to supplant free-agent acquisition Geoff Swaim from the starting role, but that will be a difficult proposition if he ends up sidelined for a chunk of the preseason.
