Cleveland and the Jaguars agreed Thursday on a three-year, $28.5 million contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jaguars' Ezra Cleveland: Forced out of Week 14 game
Rotowire
Cleveland (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Cleveland stepped in at left tackle in place of usual starter Walker Little (hamstring), as the latter was ruled inactive pregame. However, the 25-year-old, who typically starts at left guard, appears to have sustained a knee injury of his own at some point during the first half.

Expect either Blake Hance or Cole Van Lanen to fill in at left tackle.
