Jaguars' Allen Robinson has torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season
— -- JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson will miss the remainder of the 2017 season after suffering a torn left ACL in Sunday's victory over the Houston Texans.
Robinson will have surgery in the coming weeks to repair the damage, coach Doug Marrone said Monday afternoon.
Robinson was hurt on the third play of Sunday's game, after he caught a 17-yard pass from Blake Bortles on third-and-2 to convert the first down. He was unable to walk to the sideline and was immediately attended to by the Jaguars' medical staff before walking off the field to the locker room.
Robinson, who has 202 catches for 2,848 yards and 22 touchdowns in his three-plus seasons, is in the final year of his rookie contract. The sides had preliminary discussions about an extension but the injury obviously puts a hold on things.
Without Robinson the Jaguars will have to rely heavily on Marqise Lee and Allen Hurns, as well as veteran Arrelious Benn, who is one of the team's core special-teams players.
