"Matt's done a very good job, too," Meyer said. "It's close. We'll have a final meeting this afternoon to decide."
The Jaguars, who have improved each week during an 0-4 start, can pull to within a game of first place in the AFC South with a victory Sunday. Tennessee, the defending division champion, leads the South with a 2-2 record. The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans are 1-3.
"This whole AFC South has been obviously the focus of our organization since well before I got here – but all through the offseason," Meyer, who took over as the Jaguars' head coach in January, said. "It's obviously a very talented team with the Titans and somewhat of a rivalry.
"I know our players are [ready] and I know I am."
While the Titans have perhaps the NFL's best running back, 2019 and 2020 NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry, they have struggled in pass protection this season – allowing a league-high 17 sacks in four games. The Jaguars are tied for 31st in the NFL with five sacks. "We need to be better there," Meyer said. "We need to be better impacting the quarterback. It's not just a sack. It's disrupting the quarterback. This week, we have to. It's a mandate."
NOTABLE II
Meyer on Friday also lauded tight end Dan Arnold, who caught two passes for 29 yards against Cincinnati – three days after being traded from the Carolina Panthers to the Jaguars. "I love that guy," Meyer said. "He's a grinder, a worker, a talented guy, a guy that can open it up. He's been outstanding. He did really well in the game in a limited role. He's pretty much go now."
NOTABLE III
Jaguars defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris has been ruled out for Sunday with an ankle injury; he has missed the last two games with the issue. Rookie cornerback Tyson Campbell (toe) and defensive end/linebacker Lerentee McCray (hamstring) were listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report of the week – and running back Carlos Hyde (shoulder/tooth) was removed from the report and is expected to be available Sunday.
