Carson Tinker, who spent six seasons as the long snapper for the Jacksonville Jaguars, is back on the team. The Jaguars announced the signing Monday morning, two days after long snapper Ross Matiscik suffered a shoulder injury in the team’s preseason debut.
Matiscik’s injury isn’t expected to be too serious, as Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said he’s “day to day” for now. But he’s likely to miss the upcoming preseason game against the Detroit Lions and, if nothing else, Jacksonville needs a long snapper in practice so punter Logan Cooke and kicker Brandon McManus can get reps.
