Hamilton was carted off during Jacksonville's 42-7 win over Indianapolis and now faces a torn quadriceps that sources say will likely end his season.
DaVon Hamilton is expected to miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn quadriceps muscle, according to league sources. The Jaguars nose tackle was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Colts, a contest Jacksonville won 42-7.
Coach Liam Coen described the scene afterward, saying Hamilton was laid out but staying upbeat. "He's out there laying down and he's reassuring me," Coen said. "That's who he is. He has a smile on his face, actually. He trusts God. He trusts himself. He trusts life. He's just one of those types of people. It's tough to see that, obviously. Really tough. We have to evaluate what it truly is."
Hamilton has been a steady piece of Jacksonville's run defense, often making an impact in ways that don't show up in the box score. His absence leaves a hole up front that the Jaguars will need to address, with trade targets at defensive tackle already being floated as the team looks to shore up the position before the loss becomes a bigger problem down the stretch.
