The Jacksonville Jaguars added nickelback D.J. Hayden (foot) to their injury report Saturday afternoon and the veteran cornerback will now head into Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers as questionable.

Hayden’s late addition is one that could hurt the Jags’ depth at cornerback in the end, as they already had All-Pro Jalen Ramsey ruled out with a back injury. With that being the case, Tre Herndon, who is the team’s No. 4 cornerback, was scheduled to start in Ramsey’s place and Hayden’s injury could bring No. 5 cornerback Breon Borders into the mix. The Jags also have rookies Tae Hayes and Brandon Watson on their practice squad if they want to activate someone.

In their last game against the Broncos, inexperience was a big factor into things although the Jags won. Tre Herndon struggled mightily against Courtland Sutton and Emmanuel Sanders, who combined for 166 yards and two touchdowns, most of which came when matched up on Herndon.

The Panthers, on the other hand, will be dealing with some key injuries of their own as starting offensive linemen Trai Turner and Greg Little will miss the game. That could help the Jags if they are without Hayden as their defensive line could have Kyle Allen constantly on the move.
