TASHAUN GIPSON EXPECTED TO PLAY VS PATRIOTS

The Jaguars free safety is expected to play in the AFC Championship.

---

The Jaguars are entering their first AFC Championship since 1999 with extremely good fortune when it comes to injuries. 

Tashaun Gipson, the lone Jaguar entering their contest with the Patriots with a questionable designation, is now expected to play. This according to Ian Rapoport.

Gipson was not only limited but actually missed practice to start the week. He'll be key for the Jaguars today when it comes to slowing down Tom Brady and the Patriots potent offense. He may also have the assignment, at times, of trying to slow down Rob Gronkowski. Gipson's four interceptions this season land him in the top five among free safeties. The Jaguars playmaker at free safety will look to make things difficult for Tom Brady in this one. 

Stay tuned for more.
