Jaguars' Anton Harrison faces knee surgery, out for weeks
13 Oct
Summary
- Jaguars tackle Anton Harrison needs knee surgery and will miss games.
- Backup Walker Little will step in for Harrison at left tackle.
- Harrison injured his knee during last Sunday's win against Philadelphia.
Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Anton Harrison is scheduled for arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and will be out for multiple games. The procedure will occur once the team returns from London. Backup Walker Little is expected to fill the void at left tackle, having accumulated significant starting experience over six seasons with the Jaguars.
Harrison suffered the knee injury early in the third quarter of last Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The injury happened when he spun to make a block and twisted his right leg on the field turf. Despite being carted off, his availability for future games hinges on what doctors discover during the scope, with potential absences ranging from weeks to months.
This marks the first major injury for the Jaguars this season, as the team has enjoyed considerable health through their first five games. In a separate development, long snapper Ross Matiscik also injured his right shoulder against the Eagles. Veteran Jacob Bobenmoyer is being signed to cover for Matiscik.
