The Jacksonville Jaguars were briefly without the services of a kicker on Tuesday before claiming second-year leg Riley Patterson off waivers on Wednesday. They struggled to find a competent solution to their kicking needs and despite the outstanding play of rookie James McCourt against the Atlanta Falcons last week, the team decided to keep rolling the dice to find a long-term answer at the position.
Special teams coordinator Heath Farwell explained the Jaguars’ decision to continue looking for their next kicker in a press conference on Wednesday, telling reporters that they had been eyeing Patterson from afar for some time.
