Jalen Ramsey injury update: Jaguars star (back) visits Houston specialist, report says image

The Jaguars need answers before determining the next step with Jalen Ramsey.

According to NFL Media, the disgruntled cornerback is in Houston at the request of the team to see a back specialist for the injury that has forced him to miss Jacksonville's last two games. 

The report noted the Jaguars have not considered trade offers over the last week, but Ramsey’s request to be dealt "still stands."

While in Houston, Ramsey made time to meet up with Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and agent David Mulugheta, who represents both players.

Ramsey's injury comes after he was involved in a heated exchange with Jaguars coach Doug Marrone on the sidelines during the team's loss to the Texans in Week 2. Ramsey requested a trade shortly after the incident and hasn't played since, ending his streak of starting the first 51 regular-season games of his NFL career.

Ramsey, who initially was selected by Jacksonville with the No. 5 pick in the 2016 draft, has nine interceptions and 45 pass breakups in those games. 

The Jaguars (2-3) will next face the Saints (4-1) in Week 6 action.
