Hamilton (back) could return next week, according to head coach Doug Pederson, J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Hamilton's back spasms have plagued him throughout training camp. After initially being sidelined at the start, he returned to practice in early August before being shut down again. Hamilton is expected to play a pivotal role along the defensive front this season after signing a three-year, $34.5 million extension in the offseason.
