Former Jaguars executive Tom Coughlin received a bit of a scare this week after being involved in a bicycle accident in Jacksonville. Per ESPN, he fractured four of his ribs, slightly punctured his lung and had a small head injury that required stitches afterward.
Per Coughlin, another man on a racing bike blindsided him and came out of nowhere, clipping the front of his bicycle. Coughlin also stated that he thought he was aware of his surroundings, however, he missed the other person and the accident occurred as a result.
Coughlin initially went home before going to the emergency room of Baptist Health. It was there where he had X-rays, a CT Scan, and was told he would be under a four-to-six-week recovery window.
Alongside the rest of Jags Nation, we’d like to wish him a speedy recovery and send prayers as Coughlin makes his run back to full health.
