Expected to play Week 5 Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Savage (quadriceps) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Impact Savage has missed three straight games due to a lingering quad injury, but he's managed to practice in a limited capacity in advance of Week 5 action.

Begins week as limited Savage (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Savage has missed the Jaguars' last three games due to a quadriceps injury sustained in the team's Week 1 loss to the Dolphins.
