Jalen Ramsey and Dante Fowler are each currently serving a suspension for different infractions of team rules, but the two will be back from temporary banishment on Monday, according to John Reid of the Florida Times-Union.
With that, both players will not be able to join the Jaguars in joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings and a preseason matchup against the same team this coming Saturday.
Dante Fowler was handed a suspension following a fight during a practice with teammate Yannick Ngakoue. As if that did not look good enough on the team, Ramsey took to Twitter and blasted a reporter for uploading the video online. Ramsey also castigated the local media for “unfair treatment of his teammates especially Dante Fowler,” according to a separate report by Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
Also according to the same report by Reid, Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone believes that despite the altercation, Fowler and Ngakoue will be able to get along just fine.
Marrone declined to elaborate on the suspensions, saying their decisions were internal and private. But he did say that he doesn’t think Ngakoue and Fowler will have problems co-existing as teammates. It’s known through the organization that they are not friends and don’t speak to each other.
The next opportunity for Ramsey and Fowler to see action in an NFL game will be in a Week 3 preseason match against the Atlanta Falcons at home on Aug. 25.
