Jaguars Left Tackle Anton Harrison Scheduled for Knee Surgery

Anton Harrison Set for Knee Surgery

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Anton Harrison will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. The operation is scheduled for next week after the team completes its stay in London and flies back home.

At this stage, Jacksonville does not know the full severity of the knee injury. Depending on what the surgeons find during the procedure, Harrison could miss between 3 to 5 weeks, or he might be sidelined for the remainder of the regular season.

How the Knee Injury Happened

Harrison was injured during the team's 19-17 victory over Philadelphia last Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The injury took place while he was blocking on a running play, which was a sweep to the right side executed by Bhayshul Tuten.

After disengaging from his block on the play, Harrison appeared to grab his right knee and fell to the ground. Medical staff evaluated him on the field, and he was eventually taken off the field on a cart.

Walker Little came into the contest to replace Harrison after the injury occurred. Little is expected to take over as Jacksonville's starting left tackle.

Harrison's Background with the Jaguars

Harrison came to Jacksonville as the 27th overall pick in the 2023 draft. He spent his first three seasons playing right tackle, where he missed just three games. The coaching staff shifted him from right tackle to left tackle during training camp. The team also picked up his fifth year option in April.

The Jaguars hold a 4-1 record heading into Sunday's matchup against the 1-4 Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium. Jacksonville is scheduled to fly back home right after the game finishes.
