JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey has missed his sixth consecutive practice.

Ramsey sat out practice Thursday because of an apparent back injury that caused him to miss last week’s victory at Denver. It was the first game Ramsey has missed in his four-year NFL career.

Ramsey refused to comment when approached in the locker room after practice.

Team owner Shad Khan told The Associated Press Wednesday that he has no plans to part ways with Ramsey , who requested a trade Sept. 15 following a heated argument with coach Doug Marrone on the sideline and a much-less-public exchange with personnel chief Tom Coughlin outside the visiting locker room in Houston.

Khan said “the best thing is to have him be part of the team.”
