Jaguars expect DaVon Hamilton to miss rest of season with torn quad
Jacksonville expects defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton to miss the rest of the season after he was carted off on Sunday.
The Jaguars believe he has a torn quad, but further tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Hamilton has started every game for Jacksonville this season and has played well.
His absence will leave the team without a player it says will be tough to replace.
Hamilton was a 2020 third-round pick and has spent his entire career with the Jaguars.
He is slated to become a free agent after this season.
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton is expected to miss the rest of the season with a torn quad.
