Ramsey is back in the facility after staying away on Monday while dealing with the flu. There were some who believed it was the start of a holdout for Ramsey but according to Josina Anderson of ESPN, he actually did have the flu and it just came at a bad time.
Although it cld appear dubious, I'm told Jalen Ramsey is actually legit sick coincidentally, while in the midst of demanding a trade. As for how long this plays out, my understanding is it's day-to-day at the moment as I'm told "all I know is he can't practice today." #JalenWatch

So now the question is where do Ramsey and the Jaguars go from here? It makes sense that if Ramsey is dealing with an injury for the team to hold him out. The Jaguars have made it clear that they don't want to trade Ramsey but even if there are any thoughts that they might trade him, the last thing they want him to do is injury the back or his hamstring anymore.
Ramsey said last week that he doesn't want to be a distraction to the team but there were also a lot of rumblings that he would be traded away last weekend. Now that he is still on the team he could use the leverage he has and sit out until the team decides to move on from him.
Either way if it's the team's decision or Ramsey's Adam Schefter of ESPN believes that it's still a long shot that Ramsey will be suited up when the team makes the trip out West on Sunday to take on the Denver Broncos. There is a chance he might not even travel with the team.
