DAWUANE SMOOT

After a dream season came to an end with a loss in Kansas City, the Jaguars leadership will now look to an offseason unlike any they have experienced in recent history.

The Jaguars placed two veterans, left tackle Cam Robinson and defensive lineman Dawaune Smoot on injured reserve on Monday, meaning they will miss the rest of the season.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot is out for the remainder of the season after tearing the Achilles tendon in his right leg at the New York Jets.

The Jaguars won big and lost a big defensive piece on Thursday night.

Instead of wearing their hearts on their sleeves, NFL players get a chance to do it somewhere else.

Jaguars defensive end Dawuane Smoot and his wife, Aumari, are the proud — and often sleep-deprived — parents of Ahmir and Ahlani. Most parents of young children can relate. But it’s their story that is remarkable, even a year after an early morning surprise made the Smoot clan a family of four in the most unexpected of ways.

Each day this week, News4JAX looks at each defensive unit on the Jaguars.

The Indianapolis Colts badly botched a chance to secure an AFC wild-card spot by losing at Jacksonville 26-11 in the clown game.

When Jaguars defensive end Dawuane Smoot saw his cleats for the first time after practice on Wednesday, he was thrilled.

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 has been a wild week for Jaguars defensive end Dawuane Smoot.

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

Jameis Winston passed for touchdowns of 43 and 29 yards to Marquez Callaway, and the New Orleans Saints defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 23-21 in a preseason game.

With training camp only a few weeks away, the News4Jax sports team is breaking down the Jaguars roster, position by position

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Some of Derrick Henry’s biggest plays and most productive games have come against the Jaguars. The Jaguars have an impressive streak going against the NFL’s leading rusher this season and last. They haven’t allowed Henry to reach 100 yards rushing in any of his four trips home. We know this guy’s going to get the football and he’s coming downhill,” Jaguars safety Jarrod Wilson said. Only three previous undrafted rookies have surpassed 1,000 yards rushing: Indianapolis’ Dominic Rhodes (1,104 in 2001), Denver’s Phillip Lindsay (1,037 in 2018) and Tampa Bay’s LeGarrette Blount (1,007 in 2010).

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without their best pass rusher at Houston on Sunday. Defensive end Josh Allen, who has two of the team's four sacks this season, was downgraded to out and did make the trip Saturday. Jacksonville (1-3) could be down three more defensive regulars against the Texans (0-4). The team could get a boost with the return of starting safety Jarrod Wilson (hamstring). Wilson and linebacker Quincy Williams (core muscle injury) were moved from the IR designated for return list to the 53-man roster Saturday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. It has been a challenging month for the Jaguars defensive line unit. That means the players that are still on the Jaguars roster are going to have to step up. With so many personnel losses across the defensive front, Jacksonville is going to need a career season from Smoot again this year. And his deal was if he shot a shotgun and that dog shied away, that dog wasnt a bird dog anymore, said Jaguars defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich. Im trying to get double digits and do whatever I can for the team and put some Ws on the board.

JACKSONVILLE, FL – About 12 hours after Jaguars owner Shad Khan fired top executive Tom Coughlin, all the clocks inside the building were reset. “We'd love to see coach Marrone stick around and see this through,” Pro Bowl defensive end Calais Campbell. —Defensive end Yannick Ngakoue skipped most of the offseason and part of training camp in a contract dispute that remains unsettled. He tried to fine defensive end Dante Fowler $700,000 for missing "mandatory" appointments with team trainers during the 2018 offseason. Neither did the clocks, players insisted.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Players from the Jaguars defense went off the practice field Tuesday to help families in need. Abry Jones and Dawuane Smoot volunteered in a food sorting event at TIAA Bank Field in support of Feeding Northeast Florida. "The Jaguars are enormous supporters of our organization and of hunger issues in general. I think they bring such a big voice to a problem," said Susan King with Feeding Northeast Florida. pic.twitter.com/2Zgv79pkWP City of Jacksonville (COJ) (@CityofJax) October 15, 2019Copyright 2019 by WJXT News4Jax - All rights reserved.
