Jaguars Expect DaVon Hamilton Out for Rest of Season

Jacksonville’s 42-7 win over Indianapolis came at a major cost: defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton tore his quadriceps and is expected to miss the rest of the season, pending further testing. Hamilton has anchored the Jaguars’ league-leading run defense, and his absence leaves a significant hole on the interior while increasing pressure on the remaining linemen. With the trade deadline approaching, Jacksonville’s options include promoting in-house players such as rookie Albert Regis and Matt Dickerson or pursuing a defensive tackle; proposed trade targets include Patriots tackle Christian Barmore, while other reports mention Moro Ojomo and Jalen Carter. Hamilton’s injury also complicates the team’s longer-term plans, as he is in the final year of his contract and Jacksonville must weigh a potential extension against future cap commitments.
