With long snapper Ross Matiscik sustaining a shoulder injury Sunday that kept him out the final three-plus quarters, Coen on Monday said the Jaguars will sign a long snapper. He is expected to arrive in London and practice Wednesday, with nose tackle DaVon Hamilton snapping eight times for Matiscik – an All-Pro long snapper – against the Eagles. The Jaguars, after being the only NFL team to not attempt a fourth-down conversion in the first four games, converted two of four on Sunday. The failed attempts came inside the Eagles 5-yard line. “It was challenging in the moment, for sure,” Coen said. “It affected some of the calls, like going for it on fourth downs instead of kicking field goals. We missed the extra point. It does affect a lot of things.” Coen praised the field-goal operations team overall – particularly Hamilton and punter/holder Logan Cooke – saying that while the “op times” after Matiscik’s injury weren’t ideal, the job done under the circumstance was remarkable. “They definitely weren’t what you’re hunting up, but to get it done … Logan was fantastic,” Coen said. “It was just chaos, for sure, and hopefully this week we’ll be able to alleviate some of that. We’ll get somebody in here to be able to come in and immediately get those op times better and get the operation cleaner.”
Jaguars left tackle Anton Harrison sustained a knee injury Sunday and did not return, with sixth-year veteran Walker Little finishing the game in his place. Harrison underwent an MRI Monday, with Coen saying a player likely will be elevated from the practice squad at the position this week if Harrison is unavailable Sunday. “I feel like we have pretty good depth, right now, so I think we’ll be all right,” Coen said.
