JACKSONVILLEThe Jaguars on Wednesday practiced at theMiller Electric Center.
The Jaguars (11-4) will play the Indianapolis Colts (8-7) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., Sunday in a 2025 Week 17 game. A look at Wednesday around the Jaguars withHead Coach Liam Coenspeaking to the media before practice and quarterbackTrevor Lawrencespeaking to the media after practice:
Ross Matiscikhas received this honor before. It's a little cooler this time.
Matiscik, the Jaguars' sixth-year veteran long snapper, on Tuesday was named to the Pro Bowl for a third consecutive season. But this will be his first time going on a playoff team and Matiscik on Wednesday said that makes it more special.
The 2026 Pro Bowl Games will be held in San Francisco, Cal., February 3 as part of the week leading to Super Bowl LX, which will be played on February 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Cal.
An already motivated team may have a little more motivation now.
Matiscik was the lone Jaguars player named to the Pro Bowl Games, with four teammates named as alternates: LinebackerDevin Lloyd, running backTravis Etienne Jr., wide receiver/punt returnerParker Washingtonand quarterbackTrevor Lawrence.
Lloyd leads all NFL linebackers with five interceptions.
"He's a guy that's deserving of every award a linebacker should have," Hines-Allen said. "Nobody's doing what he's done. It goes back to the same old same old thing we've been experiencing. It's expected, but at the end of the day, he's going to be an All-Pro."
Etienne has seven touchdowns rushing with six receptions this season, Washington has two punt returns for touchdowns and Lawrence has 26 touchdowns passing with seven rushing this season.
Sunday marks the second game between the Colts and Jaguars in four weeks, with the Jaguars beating the Colts 36-19 at EverBank Stadium in Week 13. The timing means studying more from that matchup than might normally be the case when preparing for Sunday.
