Jacksonville – The Jacksonville Jaguars released their injury report for Week 6, indicating that defensive end Travon Walker is recovering from a wrist injury sustained during Week 4. Walker was listed as limited in Wednesday’s practice, as he continues to heal after undergoing a procedure for his injury.
Walker was unable to participate in the previous game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to swelling in his wrist. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen reported that the swelling was significant enough to prevent Walker from playing shortly after his surgery. There is cautious optimism regarding his availability for the upcoming game, contingent on the swelling subsiding and when his stitches can be removed.
The impact of Walker’s absence was clear in the Jaguars’ last match, where they allowed a season-high total of yards. Additionally, the team recorded their fewest pressures and the lowest pressure rate without him on the field. The Jaguars’ defense struggled significantly without Walker’s presence, highlighting his importance to the team.
Alongside Walker, several other players are also managing injuries and were listed as limited in practice. This group includes:
- Yasir Abdullah – Linebacker (hamstring)
- Dyami Brown – Wide receiver (shoulder)
- Ezra Cleveland – Offensive lineman (ankle)
- Chuma Edoga – Offensive lineman (knee)
- Anton Harrison – Offensive lineman (elbow)
- Patrick Mekari – Offensive lineman (knee)
- Eric Murray – Safety (neck)
- Bhayshul Tuten – Running back (shoulder)
In addition, punter Logan Cooke did not practice due to a personal matter, and center Robert Hainsey was a non-participant due to a hamstring injury incurred during the game against the Chiefs. Hainsey did engage in some off-to-the-side workouts during practice after his injury, but he did not take part in team drills, which led to rookie Jonah Monheim filling in for him at center during the game.
During the shortened practice week, the Jaguars held a walkthrough on Wednesday, making the players’ treatment status estimates. This approach is common following the recent Monday Night Football game, where teams typically have reduced practice sessions to allow for recovery. The injury reports are intended to keep the public informed of player conditions leading into the weekend’s matchup.
As the Jaguars prepare for Week 6, their ability to field a competitive team may hinge on the health of key players like Walker and others whose statuses remain uncertain. With several players dealing with significant injuries, the Jaguars will need to address their defensive strategy both with and without these contributors as they move forward in the season.
