Jacksonville Jaguars first-round draft pick Jalen Ramsey has suffered a knee injury, the team announced.
The team has characterized the injury as a small meniscus tear but will get a second opinion.
The team issued the following statement:
“Jalen Ramsey sustained a small tear to the meniscus in his right knee during phase two on-field workouts. Ramsey is obtaining a second opinion next week.
