Marqise Lee was back on the practice field for the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday and there's a chance the third-year receiver could play in Thursday's preseason opener against the New York Jets.
Lee did only individual work on Sunday but that was the first time he had participated in any part of practice since the first day of training camp. He suffered a mild left hamstring strain and missed the next seven practices (including Friday night's scrimmage). Coach Gus Bradley said the team will know more about Lee's status on Monday because they want to see how his hamstring responds.
"It seems like with his tempo work and everything that he’s doing, his high-speed accelerations, all that we look at, [he has made] really good progress," Bradley said.
Lee insisted that this hamstring strain wouldn't keep him off the field very long -- and certainly not as long as hamstring injuries have kept him out of action in the past. Lee is still behind Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns on the depth chart, and possibly even Rashad Greene at this point.
