The Jaguars will be closer to full strength than expected for Thursday Night Football in Week 9, with running back Bhayshul Tuten and defensive end Travon Walker both active against the Baltimore Ravens.

Tuten's status had been the main question hanging over Jacksonville's game plan. The back spent the week nursing a foot and ankle injury, and his availability stayed unresolved deep into Thursday. In the end he made the cut, giving the Jaguars their lead ball-carrier for a short-week road test.

Walker's presence matters just as much on the other side of the ball. The former first-round defensive end gives Jacksonville its top edge presence against a Baltimore offense built around punishing the middle of the field and forcing defenses to stay honest.

Jacksonville listed four players inactive overall for the matchup. For a team trying to stay in the AFC playoff picture, getting both of its headline injury questions answered in the affirmative is about as good as a Thursday inactives report gets.
