The Jacksonville Jaguars sit atop the AFC South through four weeks of action with a 3-1 record. After a huge road win against the previously undefeated San Francisco 49ers, the Jaguars have cemented themselves as a real threat in the AFC in terms of potential playoff teams that few saw coming.
As they gear up to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night, though, head coach Liam Coen gave a surprise injury update regarding edge rusher Travon Walker.
"Jaguars edge Travon Walker had wrist surgery, coach Liam Coen announced, though he's considered day-to-day," Ian Rapoport reports. "Coen said he could even play on MNF."
It goes without saying, but his would be a very quick turnaround for Walker, who had two tackles in Week 4 against the 49ers. He has two sacks on the season and 12 tackles in total. Monday night's game starts a three-game home stand for Jacksonville against a trio of heavy hitters. After facing the Chiefs, they'll host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6 and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. If there are doubters in Jacksonville, they will be proven right or wrong very soon.
