The Jaguars lost one of their best players on the team yesterday when running back James Robinson went down late in the first quarter with a torn Achilles tendon. The injury was later confirmed by interim head coach Darrell Bevell.
His season is now over, but while it will certainly have an effect on the team moving forward on offense, his presence as a leader and a teammate will be missed even more.
Speaking to reporters after yesterday’s 26-21 loss to the New York Jets, Jaguars rookie QB Trevor Lawrence echoed these sentiments but noted that he hates it more for Robinson than anything else, a great person getting hurt this late into his second season in the NFL.
