Jacksonville Jaguars star cornerback Jalen Ramsey has been seemingly trying to find ways in which to separate himself from the team. After playing in last weeks Thursday night contest against the Tennessee Titans, Ramsey was doing everything in his power to make that the last game he played for the Jaguars.
On Monday, Ramsey was away from the team due to the flu, on Wednesday he didn't practice due to hamstring tightness and back soreness, and Wednesday night the team announced that Ramsey would be traveling back home as he was expecting the birth of his second daughter.
After all of the events that unfolded during this tumultuous week, Ramsey is reportedly traveling with the team to Denver, but it is unknown if he will suit up.
I’m told CB Jalen Ramsey is on the team plane and headed with the #Jaguars to Denver. His status for tomorrow is still up in the air due to the back issue, which had him listed as questionable on the game status report.

The Jags seem intent on not trading the 2016 fifth overall pick, as they will most likely not receive the value they are set on getting for Ramsey. The relationship between Ramsey and the front office seems strained to the point where it cannot be mended. Every week, Ramsey makes it clearer and clearer that his time in Jacksonville is up.
Facing a winless Denver Broncos team that has struggled to succeed anywhere on the field will give Ramsey another chance to show people why the Jags have such a high asking price for maybe the leagues best shutdown corner.
Playing in these games, however, when he as made it clear he wants out, does put into play the chance of an injury that would not only be devastating for the Jags but Ramsey included.
