Westbrook set to return to Jaguars active roster soon

After having to sit out the first 10 weeks of the regular season due to an abdomen injury, former Yoemen and Jacksonville Jaguar Dede Westbrook is finally set to return to the starting lineup and get his first action in a regular season game.

Westbrook had the led the NFL in the preseason with 298 receiving yards, but was injured shortly before the season opener and placed on injured reserved. It’s a good time for Westbrook to return, as Allen Hurns, another receiver on the team, is expected to miss at least one week with an ankle injury.

Jacksonville (6-3) will travel to the winless Browns (0-9) for a noon kickoff on Sunday.
