The Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium in London in Week 6.
The game marks Jacksonville's second straight overseas game after a stunning 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Ahead of the matchup, the Jaguars ruled out two players, including long snapper Ross Matiscik (shoulder) and cornerback Montaric Brown (hamstring). Neither player practiced this week. Cornerback Jaylon Jones (hamstring) was questionable for Sunday's game.

Due to their losses, Jacksonville elevated CB Jabbar Muhammad for a third straight week. Muhammad will be ineligible for promotion to the active roster via standard elevation going forward. If the team wants to use him on game days, it will need to sign him to the active roster.
The team also elevated newly signed long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer to replace Matiscik. After Matiscik's injury last week, defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton filled in.
With two players already set to miss Sunday's contest, who else are the Jaguars sitting against Houston?
Jaguars vs. Texans Week 6 inactives: Starting corner ruled out
Brown is the team's biggest loss this week. The fifth-year corner signed a three-year contract extension this offseason to fill one of the team's starting corner roles.
Since then, Brown has played in four games, totaling 123 snaps. Brown played just six snaps last week against the Eagles before being forced to exit the game. Brown missed the team's Week 4 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Previously, Brown played at least 74.5% of the team's defensive snaps before playing just 47.6% against the New England Patriots.
The Jaguars use multiple players to man two outside corner spots. Brown and CBs Travis Hunter and Jarrian Jones are essentially all co-starters. Against the Texans, though, Jones and Hunter are slated to play full-time for a third straight week.
