Watson apologized Friday "to all the women I have impacted" after being accused by two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions. Potentially facing a year-long suspension, Watson publicly expressed remorse and contrition for the first time since he was accused of sexually harassing or assaulting the women during therapy sessions in 2020 and 2021. He spoke before the team’s exhibition opener, a 24-13 victory against the Jaguars (0-2) in which Watson was roundly booed during three series of work. Fans in one end zone could be heard chanting vulgarities at Watson during his first drive. Brissett, who is scheduled to start during Watson's suspension, sat out the game as a precaution.

Trevor Lawrence’s and Travis Etienne’s return to the gridiron will have to wait another week.

That, plus the return of his former Clemson running mate in Etienne, should signal a strong sophomore season for the 2021 No. The two lit of college football for three seasons but haven't played a regular season game together yet after Etienne's preseason injury in 2021.

Lambo's lawsuit includes a request for a jury trial and a lengthy list of discovery requests to the Jaguars:Among them:—Documentation pertaining to an internal investigation into Lambo's objection about Meyer's conduct. —Documentation pertaining to other investigations into Meyer's workplace behavior in 2021 or 2022. —Documentation showing efforts by the Jaguars to inform the NFL or the NFL Players Association about Meyer's workplace behavior. —Documentation of efforts by Jaguars management to counsel, correct or otherwise address Meyer's workplace behavior in 2021.

Placekicker Josh Lambo’s lawsuit against the Jacksonville Jaguars could uncover more details about former coach Urban Meyer’s tumultuous NFL tenure.

According to the lawsuit, Lambo says his performance suffered as a result of being kicked and verbally abused by Meyer. The Jaguars fired Meyer on Dec. 15, hours after the Tampa Bay Times reported Meyer had kicked Lambo during a practice months earlier. Since Lambo reported the kicking incident to the Jaguars’ legal counsel, his subsequent release violated Florida’s Private Sector Whistle Blower’s Act, the lawsuit says. I’ll kick you whenever the (expletive) I want.”The lawsuit says Lambo verbally reported the incident immediately through his agent, who contacted the Jaguars’ legal counsel the day after Meyer kicked Lambo. “Josh’s characterization of me and this incident is completely inaccurate, and there are eyewitnesses to refute his account,” Meyer said.

Former NFL placekicker Josh Lambo has filed a lawsuit against the Jacksonville Jaguars, saying former coach Urban Meyer created a hostile work environment.
