Anton Harrison Faces Surgery After Knee Injury Against Eagles

Jacksonville Jaguars Tackle Anton Harrison Scheduled For Knee Surgery Following Philadelphia Eagles Win

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Anton Harrison will undergo right knee surgery after sustaining an injury during the team’s Week 5 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles in London, PenseBet reported. The medical procedure is scheduled to take place upon the team’s return to the United States following their two-week stay overseas.

Injury Timeline And Surgical Outlook Remain Uncertain

The severity of the damage to Harrison’s right knee will dictate his recovery timeline, with surgical options ranging from a brief absence to missing the remainder of the 2026 NFL season. According to NFL Network, medical staff will determine the exact nature of the procedure once surgeons inspect the joint directly. Under the most optimistic medical projections, Harrison faces a recovery period of four to six weeks. The worst-case scenario would sideline the third-year offensive lineman for the entire year.

Walker Little Steps Into Left Tackle Role For Wembley Match

Offensive lineman Walker Little will assume starting responsibilities at left tackle while Harrison recovers. Little replaced Harrison during the game against Philadelphia and is slated to make his first start of the stretch in Week 6 against the Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium. Head coach Liam Coen maintained caution regarding initial roster assessments earlier in the week while awaiting comprehensive medical evaluations.

Position Switch Interrupted After First-Round Draft Selection

The timing of the injury disrupts Harrison’s transition to the blindside protector position. After spending his first three NFL seasons as a right tackle, the 2023 first-round draft pick shifted to the left side during the offseason. The Jaguars previously demonstrated long-term confidence in his development by exercising the fifth-year option on his rookie contract for the upcoming season.
