Darby (hip) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. Darby played just nine defensive snaps against the Packers on Sunday after injuring his hip in the first quarter. However, it appears the injury isn't severe enough for him to miss the Jaguars' first practice of the week, and barring any setbacks, he should suit up against the Eagles on Sunday. Darby has logged 34 tackles (27 solo) and five pass breakups over eight regular-season outings.

Darby injured his hip against the Packers in Sunday's Week 8 matchup and is questionable to return, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports. Darby's injury occurred in the first quarter, and he subsequently consulted with trainers on the side of the field. The veteran cornerback has been a key component of the Jaguars' secondary this season, logging at least 70 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the team's first seven contests. Montaric Brown and/or Deantre Prince could absorb Darby's snaps Sunday if he's unable to return.

Darby signed a one-year contract with the Ravens worth up to $3.2 million on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. After being released by Denver in March due to a failed physical, Darby has been working out for teams since the start of training camp. He is returning from an ACL tear suffered in early October of last season and has apparently shown enough to prove his full bill of health. Baltimore will be the fifth home for the journeyman cornerback, as he has had previous stints with the Bills, Eagles, Commanders and Broncos. He is now expected to compete for a depth cornerback role with the Ravens.

Darby (knee) was officially placed on IR on Monday, Aric DiLalla reports. Darby was ruled out for the season Saturday after suffering a season-ending ACL injury in the team's loss to the Colts on Thursday. Therefore, the move to IR is simply procedural.

Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Darby has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2022 campaign after being diagnosed with an ACL injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Darby suffered a knee injury at the end of the first half during Thursday's loss to the Colts and didn't return for the second half. He's since been diagnosed with an ACL injury and will miss the remainder of the season. Over five appearances, the veteran defensive back totaled 14 tackles, three pass defenses and one forced fumble across 264 defensive snaps. In his absence, K'Waun Williams, Damarri Mathis and Essang Bassey are all candidates for increased roles.
