Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Anton Harrison is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, according to league sources who spoke with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The procedure will take place after the team returns from London next week, the sources indicated.
The timing of the surgery means Harrison will remain with the team through its current stay in London before addressing the knee issue. Arthroscopic procedures are generally considered minimally invasive, though the recovery timeline for an NFL offensive lineman can vary depending on the extent of the injury discovered during the operation.
Harrison, a key component of Jacksonville's offensive front, protects the blind side for the Jaguars' quarterback. His absence, even for a short period, would test the team's depth along the line. The Jaguars have not yet announced a corresponding roster move or provided an official timeline for his return.
The news was first reported by Rapoport and Fowler, who cited league sources. The Jaguars are currently in London as part of the NFL's international series. Further details about Harrison's condition and expected recovery are expected once the team returns to the United States and the surgery is performed.
