Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence sustained what Meyer called a low-ankle sprain late in the second quarter. He was X-Rayed and returned before the end of the drive. Asked how far his heart dropped when he saw Lawrence on the ground, Meyer said: "Just like everyone in that stadium. You don't want to see that for a young player." Lawrence afterward said, "I'm feeling a little bit better, we scanned it, nothing concerning there. We'll see how it feels tomorrow, the rest of the week. I'm sure it's going to be sore, but I'll get a bunch of treatment and try and get back healthy."
Jaguars defensive lineman Taven Bryan registered two of the Jaguars' four sacks Sunday, marking the fourth-year veteran's first two sacks of the season. The sacks were notable for being part of a dominant performance by the defense. What Bryan did to celebrate after the sacks was notable, too – dropping into a cross-legged pose he called the "campfire." Bryan, a first-round selection by the Jaguars in the 2018 NFL Draft, said the pose had no special meaning. "I just thought it would be fun," he said. "It's a fun deal to do." On his breakout game, Bryan added, "I just think it's a good start. "We'll see what next week brings me." Smoot said of Bryan, "Taven's a dog at the end of the day. There's a reason why he went in the first round, if you just make him go forward no one is going to stop him and that's what he did. He had two sacks, unbelievable and I'm happy for him for sure."
ETC., ETC.
Kicker Matthew Wright not only converted three of four field goals Sunday, he took over kickoff duties for the first time this season. Punter Logan Cooke had handled kickoffs during the first seven games of the season. "That's an injury waiting to happen, if you have our punter kickoff too many times," Meyer said. "Our kickoff unit wasn't very good today. So, we've got to get that fixed." … Rookie left tackle Walker Little made his first career start Sunday, with Meyer saying left tackle Cam Robinson – the starter in Weeks 1-7 – had his back "lock up" during pregame warmups. Walker was a second-round selection in the 2021 NFL Draft. "Walker came in and against the top defense in the NFL really hung in there," Meyer said. … Meyer said he thought running back James Robinson would play Sunday up until the second-year veteran warmed up for the game. Robinson had been listed as questionable on the final injury report of the week after missing Wednesday and Thursday practice with a bruised heel sustained last Sunday at Seattle. "We should have him back next week."
