Jaguars Sign 8-Year Veteran Geron Christian as Camp Injuries Thin Offensive Line

3 articles · Updated · jaguars.com · Aug 8

Summary

  • Jacksonville added offensive lineman Geron Christian on Saturday after right tackle Walker Little left Friday's mock game early and did not appear to work in the walkthrough.
  • Those injuries have already forced reshuffling up front, with Wyatt Milum sliding to tackle and Jonah Monheim to guard, while Patrick Mekari and Emmanuel Pregnon also missed Friday.
  • Robert Hainsey said the line's extra cross-training has helped because players "never know when you're going to need" that experience, even as the unit returns its starters for a second year in Liam Coen's system.
  • The move comes with Cole Van Lanen still on the PUP list, Garrett DiGiorgio on Reserve/Injured and linebacker Jack Kiser remaining out after a knee injury, underscoring Jacksonville's early camp attrition.
