But he landed awkwardly and remained on the ground, rolling in pain before finally limping off the field and returning to the locker room.
He was listed as questionable to return due to fears of a muscle injury.
The Jags then scored a touchdown on the drive through Travis Etienne to take an early lead in the game.
