Jaguars Key Defensive End Travon Walker Out Weeks 4-16 With Wrist Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker suffered a left wrist injury during their Week 4 game against the San Francisco 49ers and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. While the injury is not considered season-ending, the Jaguars are awaiting specialist evaluation to determine its severity, leaving the team uncertain about Walker's return timeline. In his absence, the Jaguars have increased reliance on Emmanuel Ogbah and Dawuane Smoot, with rookies B.J. Green and Danny Striggow also expected to see more playing time. Walker had been a key defensive player, contributing significantly to the Jaguars' pass rush and run defense, making his injury a notable setback. Additionally, safety Eric Murray suffered a neck injury in the same game, further testing the Jaguars' defensive depth. The team has been somewhat secretive about injury details under head coach Liam Coen, which makes updates on Walker and Murray's conditions pending.
