The All-Pro right tackle is wearing a walking boot on his ankle.
He can play this week in the divisional round, but it will likely come down to the wire.
On the opening series, he got rolled up on blocking for Ke'Shawn Vaughn, and he suffered the injury. As he dropped back to pass block, his foot shot up in pain, as he played one more snap.
Over the last two years, the 13th-overall pick had not missed a snap. He tried to return late in the second quarter, but was unable to finish.
"As tough as he is, I think there's a chance," he said. We'll just have to wait and see, because he and Ryan will probably go all the way until Friday.
Jensen was hurt in the first quarter when he got bent backwards on the goal line touchdown. He was able to return to the game after limping off the field.
"He's mentally tough, off the charts," he said. He's as tough as the guy playing the game. That thing was going to break for him not to go back in.
Josh Wells, the backup offensive tackle, played with a quad injury and they're going to have to wait and see if he's healthy enough to play on Sunday. The Brady Bunch was sacked four times, which was an improvement over the regular season, when the offensive line surrendered 23 sacks.
When asked if he was concerned about the depth of the tackle, he said, "Yes, very today." Hopefully not much on Wednesday and Thursday. We were going to have to put right guard Alex Cappa at tackle and left guard Aaron Stinnie at guard in the first quarter of the game. Thank you Josh, you just gutted it out.
Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones were not with the team on Sunday. Jones hasn't been able to cut since he injured his knee in Week 17 and they're waiting to see if Fournette can reach full speed when he runs, which he wasn't able to do last week.
"We'll know more Thursday with those guys," he said.
Lavonte David and inside and outside LBs were all back from injuries on Sunday. Pierre-Paul, David, and Barrett all played in Week 15. In the third quarter, Barrett, who was dealing with a knee injury, picked off Hurts and ran it back for a touchdown.
All three were on a pitch count, with David, who had a foot injury, playing 55 of the snaps, andBarrett and Pierre-Paul, who had a torn rotator cuff, playing 28 and 33 snaps, respectively.
They all played well. When he was running with the ball, he didn't look injured. Lavonte thought he'd be sore today. JPP is fine. They had a good rotation.
