The Baltimore Ravens vs. Jacksonville Jaguars game just got infinitely more interesting. The Jaguars announced they’ll be playing Sunday without a punter after ruling out Logan Cooke with an illness.
It appears Jacksonville will turn to kicker Aldrick Rosas, though there’s no backup punter officially listed on the team’s depth chart, so everyone could be surprised. But the lack of Cooke will also have an impact on kicks as well since he has been the holder. Jacksonville could turn to quarterbacks Gardner Minshew or Mike Glennon to be the holder Sunday, but once again, there isn’t a clear backup plan in place.
While one would think this is a huge blow against the Jaguars and should help propel the Ravens to victory, don’t be so fast. At 1-12 and with very little to lose, don’t be shocked if Jacksonville attempts a few fourth-down conversions over the course of the game, putting more pressure on Baltimore’s ailing defense to stop them.
