The Jacksonville Jaguars ruled out running back Chris Ivory and cornerback Prince Amukamara for Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers.

Ivory will not make the trip to San Diego as he continues to recover from a medical condition that required hospitalization last Sunday.

Amukamara reported right hamstring soreness Monday morning and did not practice all week.

T.J. Yeldon will again get the start at running back. He ran for 39 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries in the Jaguars' 27-23 loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday.

Ivory was hospitalized early Sunday morning, just hours before the team's season opener against the Packers, for what the team called a "general medical issue." He underwent tests and treatment and was released Tuesday.

Ivory, who signed a five-year, $32 million deal with the Jaguars in the offseason, returned to the team facility Thursday, did not practice and was not present at the Jaguars' walk-through Friday.

Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said fourth-year player Dwayne Gratz would replace Amukamara in the starting lineup.
