The Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4) are preparing to take on the Chicago Bears (3-2) in Week 6, the first of two weeks the Jaguars will stay in London, England as part of their London Games series this year.
This week, the team plays as the "road" team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In Week 7, they'll play the New England Patriots as the "home" team.

For Jacksonville, the team hopes to continue its success after picking up their first win of the season last week at home against the Indianapolis Colts. Jacksonville's offense put up their best performance of the year, totaling 497 yards of offense.
Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence put together his best performance of the season, too, completing 28 of 34 passes for 371 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
This week, the team looks to continue its success with tight end Evan Engram re-joining the fray after missing the last four weeks of the season due to a hamstring injury.
Engram is officially active for today's game against the Bears. Before going down with an injury ahead of the team's Week 2 game against the Cleveland Browns, Engram mustered just one catch for five yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1.
Engram has practiced every day on a limited basis the last two weeks, but only now gets a chance to get back on the field with Lawrence.
Last year, Engram was Lawrence's most-targetted player, hauling in 114 catches and four touchdowns on 143 total targets. Ahead of the game, the Jaguars listed Engram, linebacker Yasir Abdulla (neck), receiver Gabe Davis (knee), safety Daniel Thomas (hamstring) as questionable.
All four players are officially active.
Here are the Jaguars' inactives vs. Bears: DL Myles Cole, OL Javon Foster, OL Cole Van Lanen, DL Tyler Lacy and DL Jeremiah Ledbetter.
Chicago Bears Week 6 inactives vs. Jaguars: Tyrique Stevenson officially inactive
Ahead of the game, the Bears ruled out several players including defensive back Jaquan Brisker, who did not make the trip to London due to being in the concussion protocol.
The big news of the week, though, was DB Tyrique Stevenson suffering a calf injury during practice. He missed all of Friday's practice after participating on a limited basis Thursday. He was listed as doubtful on Friday's game status report and ruled inactive 90 minutes ahead of game time.
Here are the Bears' inactives vs. Jaguars: DB Jaquan Brisker, DB Tyrique Stevenson, OL Nate Davis, DL Zacch Pickens, WR Velus Jones Jr., DB Terell Smith and DL Domique Robinson.
