What happened: Liam Coen said Jacksonville will have a replacement long snapper join the team in London on Monday. Ross Matiscik could not finish Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. The move gives Jacksonville a snapper on hand for its London week.

Why it matters: Long snapper is a single-point failure for field goals, punts and extra points. Losing the starter abroad leaves no margin before a London kick operation. A traveling replacement preserves continuity if Matiscik cannot go.

By the numbers: Ross Matiscik, out of Baylor, is in his seventh NFL season as of Sept. 29, 2026. He made 4 tackles across 17 games with Jacksonville in 2025.

What to watch: Watch London practice participation to see whether Matiscik is available. Watch for any corresponding roster move to carry two snappers.
