Hamilton (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Hamilton may have tweaked his back during Jacksonville's Week 9 overtime win over Las Vegas, when he played 41 snaps (37 on defense, four on special teams) without recording a tackle. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in full and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against Houston. The 2020 third-rounder has 17 tackles (seven solo) through eight regular-season games.

Hamilton racked up 62 tackles (34 solo) across 17 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2024. Hamilton enjoyed a career year in terms of production, but as was the case largely across the board for Jacksonville's defense, he struggled to emerge as a true difference maker. He has two years remaining on his deal with the Jaguars, though the team has a potential out after the 2025 campaign. Hamilton has now logged back-to-back seasons without recording a single sack.

The Jaguars activated Hamilton (back) from injured reserve Saturday. The 2020 third-round pick out of Ohio State will now be in line to make his season debut after being placed on injured reserve at the end of training camp. Hamilton played in all 17 games last season for the Jaguars and registered 56 tackles (27 solo), 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble. He'll add strength to the team's interior defensive line alongside Roy Robertson-Harris and Adam Gotsis.

Hamilton (back) will not make his season debut in Sunday's game against the Colts. Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. The Jaguars designated Hamilton for a return Thursday, but it looks like they are going to ease him back into the swing of things. He has a 21-day practice window to return, so there is no need to rush him out there. The 26-year-old nose tackle is expected to give the Jaguars' interior defensive trenches a notable boost upon his return.

Hamilton (back) will not be taking the trip to London and will miss each of the team's next two games, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. Hamilton would have been eligible to be activated from injured reserve before the team's Week 5 matchup with the Bills in London, but he'll remain in Jacksonville to continue training for his return. This would leave Week 6 against the Colts as his next likeliest return date, although there's still no guarantee the Ohio State product will be ready by then.
