Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone had some good news about one of his best receivers through the preseason so far this year — Dede Westbrook should play on Thursday in the preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons.

“We just sent him up to Philadelphia to get a treatment,” Marrone said on Monday after practice. “He’ll be back and we expect him to play on Thursday.”

Westbrook was sent to Philadelphia for a second opinion on a reported sports hernia injury. He’s been one of the stars of training camp and the preseason so far for the Jaguars.
