Shifts to season-ending IR The Jaguars placed Lambo (hip) on season-ending injured reserve Monday.
Impact Lambo has already come off injured reserve once this season, so he won't be eligible to return again. The 29-year-old aggravated a gluteus medius muscle injury while attempting an onside kick in the final two minutes of Sunday's loss to the Texans. In four appearances with the Jaguars in 2020, Lambo converted all five of his field-goal tries and eight of 10 extra-point attempts. Jacksonville signed Aldrick Rosas to the practice squad Monday, and it's always possible the team will reach back out to Jonathan Brown or Brandon Wright (groin), both of whom previously filled in for Lambo this season.

Jaguars halfway home to another high pick, potential reboot
Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone is making changes in what could be his final two months on the jobNOVEMBER 9, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Season-ending injury feared Lambo aggravated his gluteus medius muscle during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Texans and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2020 campaign, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The Jaguars expect to place Lambo on injured reserve in the near future. He previously missed five games due to a lesser version of his current injury, so while Jacksonville hasn't yet officially ruled Lambo out for the year, his chances of retaking the field could be slim. In place of Lambo, the Jaguars may look into Jonathan Brown, who started Week 6 against the Lions. Alternatively, if Brandon Wright has managed to recover from his groin injury, it's possible that the rookie out of Georgia State could get another chance.

Injures hip Sunday Lambo suffered a left hip injury during Sunday's loss to the Broncos, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Impact The 29-year-old sustained the injury on an onside-kick attempt in the final two minutes. Coach Doug Marrone couldn't provide specifics on the injury but indicated it could be a serious issue. Lambo spent a month on injured reserve with an injury to the same hip before returning in late October, and it's possible he's headed back to the shelf. The veteran made field goals from 30 and 59 yards while converting one of two extra-point attempts Sunday.

Makes lone kick Sunday Lambo made his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Lambo missed the last four games with a hip injury but returned to action for Sunday's AFC showdown. The Jaguars scored four touchdowns but opted to go for two points three times for strategic reasons, leaving Lambo with an underwhelming fantasy finish. This was more of a case of bad luck than a measure of the coaching staff's faith in Lambo, and he should be a decent fantasy option when the Texans come to town after the Week 8 bye. The Texans have allowed 31 points per game but have a decent red-zone defense, allowing opponents to score on 62.5 percent of trips, 13th in the league.

Cleared for Week 7 Lambo (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Lambo's return to action was foreshadowed after the Jaguars activated him from injured reserve Thursday and then cut loose Jonathan Brown, the only other kicker on the 53-man roster. The 29-year-old had been out since Week 2 with the hip injury, but Lambo proved his health by practicing Wednesday through Friday without issue.

Jags' Lambo poised to return at Chargers, who cut him in '17
Jacksonville Jaguars placekicker Josh Lambo is returning in time to face the team that cut him three years agoOCTOBER 22, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Back in action The Jaguars activated Lambo (hip) to the 53-man roster from injured reserve Thursday.
Impact Lambo's return to the active roster comes just one day after he was officially cleared for evaluation at practice. The 29-year-old stands to resume serving as Jacksonville's starting placekicker going forward, beginning with Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Cleared to resume practicing The Jaguars designated Lambo (hip) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact The transaction initiates a 21-day window in which Lambo can be evaluated in practice without counting against the 53-man roster. Depending on how the veteran looks in practices Wednesday through Friday, he could have a shot at suiting up Sunday against the Chargers. Jonathan Brown is currently the only healthy kicker on Jacksonville's roster.

Expected to return to practice Lambo (hip) is slated to kick during Wednesday's practice so the training staff can assess his injury, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
Impact The Jaguars have trotted out five different kickers this season, but they could get some stability back if Lambo's healthy enough for Week 7. If he indeed returns to practice Wednesday, it would open up a 21-day window for the Texas A&M product to be activated from IR. The 29-year-old kicker made 33 of 34 field goals last season and connected on all three attempts before getting injured this season.
