Jaguars coach to adjust play calls after penalties against Eagles
The Jaguars beat the Eagles 19-17 in London, but Jacksonville had three delay-of-game penalties.
Coach Liam Coen said the penalties were his responsibility.
He plans to get play calls to players faster and may simplify them for Sunday's game against Houston at Wembley Stadium.
Eagles running back Will Shipley could miss multiple games after a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his foot.
Philadelphia was already without Saquon Barkley, who has a hamstring injury, and Tank Bigsby, who is on injured reserve.
Barkley and receiver DeVonta Smith may return against Carolina, depending on how they look in practice.
The Eagles have lost three straight, and getting key players back could help them improve their struggling offense.
Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen said he was responsible for the team’s three delay-of-game penalties against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Coen said he would get play calls to players sooner and might simplify them to avoid further delays.
The penalties came during a 19-17 Jaguars loss to the Eagles in London.
Two penalties came in the fourth quarter after Jacksonville reached first-and-goal at the Philadelphia 1-yard line.
The Jaguars are due to play the Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

directly on me
Maybe shorten it up, trim the verbiage or call something a little bit more simplified down there where it was in that end zone specifically that got loud and some of those critical downs.
