Jaguars Reacts Survey: Do you trust Walker Little and Cole Van Lanen?

October 14, 2026

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ offensive line is facing an unexpected challenge after two key starters went down in Week 5. Left tackle Anton Harrison suffered a non-contact knee injury that has already placed him on injured reserve, while long snapper Ross Matiscik’s shoulder issue has prompted a temporary replacement.

With Harrison’s return uncertain following arthroscopic surgery, the team has turned to Walker Little, who has already logged 31 of his 39 career starts at left tackle. Meanwhile, right tackle Cole Van Lanen—still recovering from December 2025 knee surgery—must maintain consistency to fill the void left by Harrison’s absence.

Head coach Liam Coen expressed confidence in both players, emphasizing the importance of teamwork in containing elite pass rushers like Houston’s DPOY contender Will Anderson Jr. The Jaguars’ ability to stay healthy will be critical, as further injuries to the offensive line could prove devastating as they prepare for a Week 6 showdown against the Texans.
