Nick Foles is not with the Jaguars today for their OTA practice. He's been excused from the practice due to personal reasons.

Head coach Doug Marrone spoke with the media Tuesday morning. "Our thoughts and prayers are with nick and his family," said Marrone. 

I'm not going to speculate until more information is available, but rest assured, when more information is available we will share it. There is no timetable for Foles' return to the team.

It would be nice to have Foles available for all OTAs, but his absence shouldn't be a long term issue. It'll also rookie Gardner Minshew, Alex McGough, and Tanner Lee more reps in practice. 

DE Yannick Ngakoue and RB Alfred Blue are also absent from Tuesday's OTA session. While the reasoning for the their respective absences is not clear, neither's is the result of an injury.
