Returns to practice

Smelter (concussion) returned to the Jaguars' practice Saturday, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Analysis: Smelter sat out practice this week as well as Thursday's preseason opener as he was unable to clear the concussion protocol. The 26-year-old can ill afford to miss any additional time if he has any chance of cracking Jacksonville's 53-man roster.

Expected to sit Thursday

Smelter (undisclosed) is not expected to play Thursday against the Saints, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Analysis: Smelter has missed practice time due to an undisclosed issue and it appears he will miss an opportunity to make an impression on the coaching staff in the preseason opener.
