Long (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Long will miss his fifth game of the season in Week 16 as a healthy scratch. In nine games played, the 27-year-old has 12 receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns.

Long (hip/knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Long has missed three straight games while managing a pair of injuries, but he now appears back to full health and ready to retake the field Sunday versus the Titans. He'll handle the No. 2 tight end role behind Brenton Strange, who returned from IR in Week 12 to lead Jacksonville in receiving against Arizona, securing all five of his targets for 93 yards.

Long (hip/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Arizona, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. Long will miss a third consecutive contest due to hip and knee injuries, but he has strung together five straight limited listings going back to last week, signaling that a return to action may be possible as soon as Sunday, Nov. 30 at Tennessee. Meanwhile, fellow TE Brenton Strange (hip) is listed as questionable, but he'll need to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday afternoon in order to have a chance to play Sunday. Quintin Morris and Johnny Mundt currently are the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Long (hip/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Long has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions as he works to gain clearance for Sunday's road game against Arizona. He hasn't played since Week 9 due to a pair of injuries, and Friday's practice will represent Long's last chance to upgrade to unrestricted reps in Week 12. Long will serve as Jacksonville's top tight end if he's able to suit up Sunday, unless the team activates Brenton Strange (hip) from IR to the 53-man roster.

Long (hip/knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Long has missed back-to-back games due to a pair of injuries, but this marks his third consecutive limited practice session dating back to Week 11. That bodes well for Long's chances of being able to retake the field for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals. That said, if Brenton Strange (hip) is brought off IR in time to play Week 12, Long will stand to revert to the No. 2 role at tight end even if healthy.
