Jaguars' Yeldon, Smith out vs. Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon and linebacker Telvin Smith have been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Houston Texans.

This will be the third consecutive game Yeldon has missed while battling an MCL injury. Smith was also sidelined for the Jaguars' previous game with a shoulder issue.

Selected in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Yeldon started all 12 games he appeared in this season, rushing for a team-high 740 yards and two touchdowns on 182 carries.

Smith, a 2014 fifth-round pick, finishes the season with 128 tackles, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception.
