The Jacksonville Jaguars will contend with special teams issues ahead of their game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. B.J. Green II has been placed on Injured Reserve after sustaining an injury during the opening kickoff against the Cleveland Browns. His absence exacerbates ongoing coverage problems, as Jacksonville's kickoff unit allowed Cleveland's Raheim Sanders to average 43.3 yards on returns in Week 1. The Jaguars won that game 34-10, but special teams struggles could have dire implications in closer contests. Linebacker Jack Kiser has been activated from the practice squad to replace Green and is expected to contribute on special teams.
