Jaguars chart course for Travis Hunter as full-time corner, limited receiver duties

Udinski exits Browns HC pursuit, stays in Jacksonville as OC, eyes Bills vacancy

SVP Urges Perspective on the Lynn Jones-Liam Coen Moment

ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt minimized the Lynn Jones–Liam Coen moment, arguing that a 20‑second message of support to Jaguars coach Liam Coen after a playoff loss isn’t a big deal and that the sports media often overreacts to such moments.

Bills’ Shavers suffers season-ending ACL tear in Wild Card win over Jaguars

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers tore his ACL during the team’s Wild Card win over the Jaguars and will miss the rest of the postseason, head coach Sean McDermott said. He returned to finish the game with one catch for 14 yards and more than half the snaps. In 2025 Shavers stepped into a larger role with 23 catches for 245 yards and a touchdown. Buffalo also announced that Gabe Davis tore his ACL in the same game. The Bills are exploring WR help, opening Curtis Samuel’s practice window while Mecole Hardman Jr. remains on the practice squad and Kristian Wilkerson and Stephen Gosnell are in the loop for depth.

Etienne's Free-Agent Tour: Five Likely Stops After Jaguars' Exit

Travis Etienne, coming off a breakout season and ranked No. 1 among running backs on Bleacher Report's free-agent board, hits the market with an estimated $6.8 million per year and is eyed by five teams: the Cowboys, Broncos, Jaguars, Chiefs and Jets. Jacksonville could franchise-tag him for about $14.23 million or pursue a shorter, front-loaded deal. Etienne’s 1,399 all-purpose yards and 13 touchdowns make him an affordable, versatile upgrade for teams seeking a proven back to boost their ground game.

McDermott’s late-game overrule: Bills’ tush-push near-miss in wild-card win

Buffalo coach Sean McDermott admitted he wanted to bleed the clock but overruled himself to run a fourth-and-1 tush-push with Josh Allen at Jacksonville’s 11 late in the Bills’ 27-24 wild-card win; the play was reviewed and Allen was ruled down at the 1 with 1:05 remaining, leaving Jacksonville with one timeout as Buffalo held on. The decision sparked debate among players and coordinators, though Allen and the Bills prevailed, and the game also featured injuries (Gabriel Davis’s season-ending knee injury and Jordan Poyer’s hamstring) with teams already looking ahead to the next matchup.
