Newsome was blocked by guard Jamaree Sayler and was forced to the ground awkwardly, with his right ankle buckling under him.
When he was injured, Newsome rolled on the ground in pain on the far side of the field, in front of the Chargers' sideline. Jaguars coach Liam Coen was concerned enough to walk all the way across the field to check on him.
Later in the period, Newsome was seen jogging along the sideline and talking to coaches, but he never returned.
