DAWUANE SMOOT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot, who is tied for the team lead with five sacks, is out for the remainder of the season after tearing the Achilles tendon in his right leg Thursday night at the New York Jets. Smoot made the announcement on social media Saturday, one day after coach Doug Pederson said the Jaguars were awaiting test results. If the Jaguars (7-8) win their final two games, they would make the postseason for the first time since Smoot's rookie year in 2017. Smoot has 123 tackles, including 22 1/2 sacks, in 87 career games. He had 21 tackles and 12 quarterback hits in 15 games this season.

Indy badly botched a chance to secure an AFC wild-card spot with a 26-11 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday in the “clown game,” the team's seventh consecutive road loss to the Jaguars. Now, Indy returns home with a two-game skid and facing a long offseason that doesn't even include a first-round draft pick. “Feels good to end on a high note after all this turmoil that we went through the whole season,” Jaguars defensive end Dawuane Smoot said. “Never expect to be sitting here having this moment right now, not like this,” Indy coach Frank Reich said.

Jacksonville had the better Josh Allen on this Sunday, with the standout linebacker intercepting a pass, making a sack and recovering a fumble in a 9-6 upset of the Buffalo Bills.

It’s been quite a week for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and especially so for Dawuane Smoot.

Griffin and the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed Tuesday on a three-year contract worth up to $44.5 million that includes $29 million guaranteed, according to a person familiar with negotiations. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because neither side can make free agent agreements official until the new league year begins Wednesday. The Seahawks aren’t expected to place a restricted free agent tender on the one-handed linebacker. If they don’t, he would become a free agent Wednesday and able to sign anywhere.
