Jacksonville Jaguars WR Marqise Lee has been sidelined with an ankle injury and he is not expected to be back until next week. The team is being cautious about the injury, but there has to be some concern with Lee and his injury history.

Lee was expected to be one of the top wide receivers in the draft and slipped because of injury concerns and because his production took a hit. Can he shake off that injury bug that is attached to him.

They expect him back next week and he is taking the time to rest:

"“I could be ready to go late next week, but they’re trying to sit me down and rest me for the most part,” Lee said via the Florida Times-Union. “They don’t want to rush me back. They’re thinking long-term, so they want me to really chill and relax.”"

We will have to keep our eyes on his status through OTAs, but there is plenty of time for him to get healthy. Will he be able to stay healthy though?
