Jacksonville Jaguars center Mitch Morse (concussion) exits game vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Morse left the game early with a concussion.
Jacksonville Jaguars center Mitch Morse exited Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a concussion in the first quarter. He is questionable to return.
Morse was injured on a running play in the first quarter. He was hit in the head by Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and immediately went to the ground. Morse was helped off the field and taken to the locker room for evaluation.
The Jaguars announced that Morse is in the concussion protocol, and his status for the rest of the game is uncertain.
Morse has been a key part of the Jaguars' offensive line this season.
Morse has started all 10 games for the Jaguars this season and has been one of the team's most consistent players. He has helped pave the way for running back James Robinson, who leads the NFL in rushing yards.
Morse is also a key part of the Jaguars' pass protection. He has helped protect quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who has been sacked just 10 times this season.
The Jaguars will need to find a replacement for Morse if he is unable to return.
If Morse is unable to return, the Jaguars will need to find a replacement for him at center. The Jaguars have several options, including Tyler Shatley, Luke Fortner, and Ben Bartch.
Shatley has started 10 games for the Jaguars this season, including the first two games of the season when Morse was out with an ankle injury. Fortner and Bartch are both rookies who have not played this season.
