Jacksonville Jaguars second-year linebacker Jack Kiser was forced to leave Wednesday’s training camp practice early after sustaining an injury. The incident occurred during an 11-on-11 team drill, where Kiser was seen clutching his right knee while on the ground, according to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco.
Following the practice, head coach Liam Coen revealed that Kiser would undergo an MRI on Wednesday evening to determine the extent of the injury. Coen did not provide further details on the linebacker’s condition until the results are available.
Key Analysis
Kiser, selected by the Jaguars in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, primarily made his mark on special teams during his rookie season. He logged 191 snaps on special teams from Week 1 through Week 15, contributing to four of the six phases regularly. Defensively, he saw limited action, playing only 43 snaps across four games and recording four total tackles. Pro Football Focus graded his performance favorably.
Heading into the 2026 season, Kiser was expected to continue as a core special teams contributor and serve as the primary backup at middle linebacker behind starter Foye Oluokun. The injury could impact those plans, pending the MRI results. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
