Patrick Murtagh, a rookie tight end for the Jaguars and former Australian rules footballer, suffered a broken right ankle during practice, necessitating an air cast for transport off the field. The injury occurred in a goal-line drill, eliciting a distressed reaction from teammates and spectators. At 24 years old and standing 6-foot-6, 250 pounds, Murtagh was a national-level decathlete who caught the attention of NFL scouts at an international combine in London. He had been making noticeable progress in his second year of American football, following a brief period with the Detroit Lions before departing due to a medical issue. Murtagh was expected to join the Jaguars' practice squad without counting against roster limits.
