Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Chris Smith says he’s ready for an expanded role in 2015. He better be, because the Jaguars don’t really have an alternative available. With Andre Branch out with a sprained left MCL the Jaguars are turning to Smith to be the team’s leo (pass-rushing defensive end) on first and second down, which is a significantly bigger role than the one he had as a rookie in 2014.
