Jaguars Face Texans in London Amidst Injury Woes
18 Oct
Summary
- Jaguars play Texans in London in Week 6 after beating Eagles.
- Two Jaguars players, Matiscik and Brown, ruled out due to injury.
- Key cornerback Montaric Brown is a significant loss for the Jaguars.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing to play the Houston Texans in London during Week 6, with the game scheduled at Wembley Stadium. This international contest follows the Jaguars' recent 19-17 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. The team has announced that two players, long snapper Ross Matiscik (shoulder) and cornerback Montaric Brown (hamstring), have been ruled out for Sunday's game due to injuries sustained this week. Neither player participated in practice.
Cornerback Jaylon Jones (hamstring) was listed as questionable. In response to these absences, the Jaguars have elevated cornerback Jabbar Muhammad for a third consecutive week and signed long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer to fill Matiscik's role. The team's biggest concern is the loss of Montaric Brown, a starting cornerback who recently signed a contract extension. He exited last week's game early and missed a previous matchup, impacting the team's defensive rotations.
