- Travon Walker injury update, Jaguars DE has wrist surgery, listed as 'day-to-day'
Jacksonville Jaguars pass rusher Travon Walker had a surgical procedure on his wrist and will be listed as "day-to-day" moving forward, per head coach Liam Coen.
Walker left Jacksonville's victory against the San Francisco 49ers early in the contest and didn't return. Coen told reporters on Sept. 28 that Walker would see a specialists and the team was still in the "information gathering" process.

The procedure will allow Walker to likely avoid missing major time as the Jaguars continue to work through their season.

"He's going to try to do everything in his power," Coen said of Walker. "He just cares so much. He was one of the first guys I saw before I got in the locker room on Sunday congratulating the guys."
Walker, the 2022 No. 1 overall draft pick, is in his fourth year in the league and has recorded two sacks in the first four games of the season. His absence would be missed, but the Jaguars have several players they can deploy to supplement any time he misses.

Josh-Hines Allen has one of the best pressure rates in the league. Veteran Duwane Smoot would likely be next man up and has had a big impact in his return to the Jaguars. Same goes for Emmanuel Ogbah , who signed with the team this offseason.

The team also could deploy change of pace linebacker Dennis Gardeck as a pass rusher.
Lastly, rookie pass rushers B.J. Green, who was active against the 49ers, and Danny Striggow could see larger slices of play time if Walker can't play this week.
The Jaguars will face the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 6 at EverBank Stadium on Monday Night Football.
