Jaguars and veteran long snapper Carson Tinker reunite after nearly 5 years apart
Jacksonville brought back veteran long snapper Carson Tinker on Monday, signing him to a contract nearly five years after he last played for the Jaguars. Starting long snapper Ross Matiscik injured his right shoulder while making a tackle — and forcing a fumble — in the team’s preseason opener at Dallas on Saturday. Coach Doug Pederson said Monday the team was “leaning toward holding him out” during two days of joint practices and an exhibition game at Detroit this week.
