Jaguars’ Anton Harrison has MRI on knee after Week 5 exit vs. Eagles in London

Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Anton Harrison is being evaluated further after leaving the Week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles in London with a knee injury. According to head coach Liam Coen, Harrison had an MRI on his knee on Monday, a step that typically precedes decisions on rest, practice status, and potential return timing.

Coen’s comments, reported by Yahoo Sports, did not include results or a timetable, leaving the immediate outlook unclear. For now, the Jaguars must plan as if Harrison could be unavailable while medical staff reviews what the MRI shows and determines how aggressively he can be managed.

Harrison’s injury comes at a point in the season when offensive line continuity can become decisive. As an offensive tackle, his role is central to pass protection assignments and edge containment, and a midseason lineup change can shift responsibilities for the rest of the unit. Even if the team has internal depth, the learning curve for new combinations can show up in protection calls and timing across the pocket.

The Week 5 trip to London also adds context to the evaluation timeline. Long-distance travel can complicate recovery and preparation, and an MRI suggests Jacksonville is prioritizing clarity over waiting on symptoms alone. The team will likely weigh how Harrison responds to treatment after the imaging, as well as how his knee is handling football-specific stress.

While the Jaguars have not publicly detailed the nature of Harrison’s knee issue beyond the injury itself, the key next event will be medical updates from the team on what the MRI indicates. Those findings, combined with day-to-day practice participation, generally determine whether a player returns quickly or is held out longer.

For Philadelphia, the immediate impact is more indirect. Injuries to an opponent’s offensive line often change the way defensive coordinators think about pressure packages and matchup targets, but until Jacksonville provides further information, both sides will remain in a wait-and-see posture regarding who is available for the Jaguars’ next offensive snaps.
