Jaguars Lose Long Snapper Matiscik During London Game

The Jacksonville Jaguars lost long snapper Ross Matiscik to a shoulder injury during their October 11, 2026 game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, forcing defensive tackle Davon Hamilton to take over snapping duties.

According to jacksonville.com and AOL, Matiscik was listed as questionable to return after the injury. He was not on the field for the extra point following Parker Washington's 51-yard touchdown reception.

Hamilton handled the extra point snap and also served as the Jaguars' long snapper on a first-quarter punt. The defensive tackle had previously filled the role during a 2025 game against the Tennessee Titans.

According to jacksonville.com, Matiscik entered the game with a streak of 755 consecutive successful snaps on punts, field goal attempts and conversion attempts without a bad snap. The streak covered his entire NFL career since he joined the league as a rookie in 2020.

Hamilton's previous long snapping experience came from high school, and jacksonville.com reported that he had pushed for opportunities to contribute in that role before receiving another chance in London.

Before Matiscik's injury, Jacksonville also built an early advantage through its passing attack. According to Jaguars Wire, Parker Washington scored on a 51-yard touchdown catch-and-run from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, giving the Jaguars a 7-0 lead.

The touchdown was Washington's sixth receiving score in his last nine games and the longest receiving touchdown of his career, according to Jaguars Wire. The play followed a nine-yard reception by Travis Hunter that helped set up the score.

According to Sports Yahoo, the Jaguars' scoring drive followed Philadelphia's failed fourth-and-1 attempt after a play involving quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Will Shipley. The Eagles had 21 total yards on their first two drives after Jacksonville took the lead.
